D. the first ball has a smaller mass, so it will have less acceleration than the second ball.
This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. According to Newton's second law of motion, the force applied is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma). Since the force applied is the same for both balls, the ball with a smaller mass will experience a greater acceleration.
A student is demonstrating acceleration by throwing two balls she throws both balls using the same amount of force in the same direction. the first ball she throws has a mass of 0.25kg and the second ball has a mass of 0.5kg. explain what will
happen to their acceleration and why.
A. the balls have equal acceleration because they are being throwing in the same direction.
B. the balls have equal acceleration because they are being thrown with the same force.
C. the first ball has a smaller mass, so it will have greater acceleration that the second ball.
D. the first ball has a smaller mass, so it will have less acceleration that the second ball.
