Question

1. acceleration is caused by a force acting on a mass. 1 point newtons 1st law newtons 2nd law newtons 3rd law 16. miniature golf is a game in which players hit a golf ball with a club, 1 point which causes the ball to roll along the flat ground. three golf balls with the same mass were rolling on the ground. each ball was hit by a golf club, but not from the same direction. all the golf balls changed speed as a result of being hit. use the information in the diagram to answer. which golf ball(s) experienced the strongest force when hit? how do you know? the white and purple golf balls because they gained force, while the green golf ball lost force. the green golf ball because it takes a stronger force to slow something down than to speed something up. the green golf ball because it changed speed the most. the white golf ball because it has the fastest ending speed

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that force \(F = ma\) (where \(m\) is mass and \(a\) is acceleration). Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. For objects with the same mass (\(m\) is constant), a larger change in velocity (which implies a larger acceleration \(a\)) means a larger force \(F\) (since \(F\propto a\) when \(m\) is fixed).

Answer:

1. Newton's 2nd Law
2. The green golf ball because it changed speed the most.
