The baseball with the greater acceleration is baseball A

Relationship between force and acceleration

Force and acceleration are related according to the following formula:

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

F = ma

How to determine the acceleration of baseball A

  • Force (F) = 100 N
  • Mass of A (m) = 250 g = 250 / 100 = 0.25 Kg
  • Acceleration of A (a) =?

F = ma

Divide both sides by m

a = F / m

a = 100 / 0.25

Acceleration of A = 400 m/s²

How to determine the acceleration of baseball B

  • Force (F) = 100 N
  • Mass of A (m) = 300 g = 300 / 100 = 0.3 Kg
  • Acceleration of B (a) =?

F = ma

Divide both sides by m

a = F / m

a = 100 / 0.3

Acceleration of B = 333.33 m/s²

From the above calculations, we obtained:

  • Acceleration of A = 400 m/s²
  • Acceleration of B = 333.33 m/s²

Thus, baseball A has the greater acceleration
