Mrs. Roberts’s class won a day at the bowling alley for their good behavior all year. When they arrived, Jason picked the green ball that weighed 6 lbs., and Amanda picked the yellow ball that weighed 12 lbs. Amanda was having a hard time getting her ball to roll down the lane. Jason was doing great! He was pushing his ball hard, and it was going straight down the center. He even got a strike twice!

Answer:

Amanda’s ball is heavier so it’s harder throw

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim: The reason why Amanda was having such a hard time was because she choose a heavier ballEvidence: Jason had no problem with his ball which was 6lb but Amanda was struggle with double the weight of Jason’s ball weight which was 12lb having more mass.Reasoning: Jason picked up a ball with less mass weighting at 6 pounds but because of this his ball was much easier to roll. This was due to Newton’s second law since he had such a lighter ball it was easier for him to through. Newton’s second law is force equal mass times acceleration (f=ma). The opposite could be said about Amanda her ball was so heavy that’s why it was harder to throw. When the mass of Amanda's ball is thrown onto the alley it goes slower because it has much more mass to weight it down, giving the ball less acceleration.

6+12=18 or Amanda's ball is heavier so the ball would have a hard time, again I don't know what the real question is here
