Question

question 9 6.25 pts which situation describes newtons second law? a lighter ball accelerates faster than a heavier ball when the same force is applied a skateboard keeps rolling until friction stops it a passenger leans forward when a car stops suddenly a balloon pushes air down and rises up

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law is $F = ma$ (force equals mass times acceleration). When the same force is applied, a lighter - mass object will have a greater acceleration than a heavier - mass object. A skateboard rolling until friction stops it is an example of Newton's First Law (inertia). A passenger leaning forward when a car stops suddenly is also due to inertia (Newton's First Law). A balloon pushing air down and rising up is an example of Newton's Third Law (action - reaction).

Answer:

A. A lighter ball accelerates faster than a heavier ball when the same force is applied
