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 0.25 kg and the second ball has a mass of 0.5 kg.
Explain what will happen to their acceleration and why.

The first ball has a smaller mass, so it will have less acceleration than the second ball.
The first ball has a smaller mass, so it will have less acceleration than the second ball.
The balls have equal acceleration because they are being thrown in the same direction.
The balls have equal acceleration because they are being thrown in the same direction.
The first ball has a smaller mass, so it will have greater acceleration than the second ball.
