Your goal is to throw a ball as far as you can. You have a choice to throw a 1lb ball, 3lb ball, or a 5lb ball. Which ball would you pick and why? Use Newton's second law (formula) in your explanation.

ANSWER:

I'd choose the 1lb ball because less the mass ,more the acceleration

EXPLAINATION:

the acceleration of a football is inversely proportional to its mass. It means that when you throw a ball with the same force but a heavier mass, the acceleration will be less.
