Baseball A and B have masses 250g and 300g respectively.
Both are hit by the same amount of force equal to 100 N(Newton).
Which of the two baseballs has greater acceleration?

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
