The statement that is true is:
C. If an equal force is applied to both objects the ball will move farther
Since the log weighs 40 kg and the ball weighs 5 kg, the ball has less mass and therefore less inertia. As a result, it will require less force to move the ball compared to the log. Moreover, the ball will also move farther for the same force applied due to its lower mass. The statement in option D is false because the log and the ball will both move at the same speed if the same force is applied to them.
There is a large log weighing 40 kg and a large ball weighing 5 kg. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The log will require less force to move than the ball
B. It will be harder to move the ball a long distance
C. If an equal force is applied to both objects the ball will move farther
D. If an equal force is applied to both objects the log will move faster
