|
If a force of 26 N is exerted on two balls, one with a mass of 0.52 kg and the other with a mass of 0.78 kg, which ball will have the greater acceleration? (F=ma)
|
|
The one with a mass of .78 kg will have the greatest acceleration.
|
|
|
The one with a mass of .52 kg will have the greatest acceleration.
|
|
|
They will both accelerate at the same rate.
|
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, ball with 0.52kg (ball with lesser mass) has the greater acceleration. This implies, acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the body. Hence, ball with 0. 52kg mass will have the greater acceleration.
Detailed explanation-2: -A net force on an object changes its motion – the greater the net force, the greater the acceleration. More massive objects require bigger net forces to accelerate the same amount as less massive objects.
