4x The same amount of force is applied to two bowling balls . One of the balls weighs 8 pounds and the other weighs 13 pounds. Which ball will have greater acceleration" A the 8 pound ball B the 13 pound ball

## Step 1According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This can be represented by the formula:### where is the force, is the mass, and is the acceleration.## Step 2In this problem, the same amount of force is applied to two bowling balls, one weighing 8 pounds and the other weighing 13 pounds. ## Step 3Since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass, the ball with the lesser mass (8 pounds) will have a greater acceleration.
