Question

A 600g basketball, a 500g football, a 150g baseball, and a 50g yo-yo: four toys. If you had to throw one of the four, which one would take the MOST force to throw?

A) baseball
B) basketball
C) football
D) yo-yo

Answer 1

The basket ball, because it is heavier than the rest and hence would require more force.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force is defined as product of mass of an object and acceleration by which object is moving.Also known as Newton's second law of motion.

`Force = mass* Acceleration`

F= m × a

As we can see, that force is directly proportional to the mass of the an object.

Force ∝ mass of an object

More the mass of an object more will be the magnitude of the force and vice-versa.

So, from the given objects the mass of the basketball is largest that is 600 g due to which it will take most of the force while throwing it.
