Two bowling balls are sitting on the ground. The Blue ball has a mass of 5kg. The Orange ball has a mass of 10kg. Both balls are rolled (pushed) with a force of 10N. Determine the acceleration of each ball. Explain why the Orange ball will have a lower acceleration than the Blue ball.

a. Acceleration of the Blue ball
b.Acceleration of the Orange ball
c.explain why the orange ball has a lower acceleration

Question

Two bowling balls are sitting on the ground.  The Blue ball has a mass of 5kg.  The Orange ball has a mass of 10kg.  Both balls are rolled (pushed) with a force of 10N.  Determine the acceleration of each ball.  Explain why the Orange ball will have a lower acceleration than the Blue ball.

a. Acceleration of the Blue ball
b.Acceleration of the Orange ball
c.explain why the orange ball has a lower acceleration

anonymous · Answer

Force = mass multiplied by acceleration
$$F=mass _{orange ball}\times acceleration$$
$$F=mass _{blue ball}\times acceleration$$

anonymous · Answer

Solve each equation for acceleration
 and then substitute the values for force and mass of each ball.  That equals the acceleration

anonymous · Answer

so its like this 5kg*10*9.8
