It was a children versus grown-ups competition at school. One event required the adult to throw a basketball as far as he could. When it was the child's turn, he had to throw a baseball instead. The event coordinator said, "It's only fair!" Based on Newton's laws, was this event fair?

Question

-Yes, because an adult can apply more force than a child can. Making the adult's object bigger than the child's object helps to even out the acceleration.
-No, because a basketball is bigger than a baseball, and objects that are bigger accelerate slower.
-Yes, because acceleration doesn't depend on the size of the object.
-No, because you must have the same size object in a competition.
