The correct answer is B. It will be harder to move the ball a long distance.
This is because the mass of an object affects its inertia, or resistance to change in motion. The larger the mass, the greater the inertia and the harder it is to move the object. Therefore, the log with a mass of 40 kg will require more force to move than the ball with a mass of 5 kg.
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.
