5. The data above is collected on four different types of objects-
The mass and the acceleration of each type of object are
recorded in the table.
Which object has the greatest applied force?
A. Soccer Ball
C. Marble
B. Tennis Ball
D. Ping Pong Ball

Answer 1

Answer:We can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).

To determine which object has the greatest applied force, we need to calculate the force acting on each object using the given mass and acceleration values.

For the soccer ball:

F = ma = (0.45 kg)(5 m/s²) = 2.25 N

For the tennis ball:

F = ma = (0.055 kg)(100 m/s²) = 5.5 N

For the marble:

F = ma = (0.015 kg)(1000 m/s²) = 15 N

For the ping pong ball:

F = ma = (0.020 kg)(10 m/s²) = 0.20 N

Therefore, the object with the greatest applied force is the marble, with a force of 15 N.
