Question

Joe is the best baseball player in the world. He can throw a baseball faster than anyone. If the mass of the baseball was increased by 50%, but he applied the same force as he did to a lighter baseball, which of these would best describe Joe's attitude? A)Joe would love to use the new ball in future baseball games.

B) Joe would be happy as the new ball would have a faster acceleration.
C) Joe would be unhappy as the new ball would have a slower acceleration.
D) Joe's attitude would not change as there would be no change in the acceleration.

Answer 1

try C that is what im going with

Answer 2

We know tha

Force = Mass X acceleration

acceleration = this provides the distance to the base ball

If mass of baseball is increased keeping force constant, the acceleration will decrease, this will decrease the distance traveled by the base ball

so Joe would be unhappy as the new ball would have a slower acceleration.
