Question

PLEASE ANSWER “Tessa uses a toy slingshot to launch a tennis ball across the park for her dog to fetch. For her first launch, she

uses 100 N of force. Her second launch uses 200 N of force, and her third launch uses 300 N. Which launch had
the greatest acceleration of the tennis ball?”

Answer 1

The third launch ( with 300 N force) had the greatest acceleration of the tennis ball

Further explanation

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

∑F = m. a

`\large{\boxed{\bold{a=(\sum F)/(m)}}`

F = force, N

m = mass = kg

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²

From the above equation it has been shown that the force acting on the object is directly proportional to its acceleration, so the greater the force exerted on the object, the greater the acceleration of the object produced.
