Most people can throw a baseball farther than a bowling ball, and most people would find it less painful to catch a flying baseball than a bowling ball flying at the same speed as the baseball. Explain these two situations in terms of a) Newton's first law of motion.

Complete question is;

Most people can throw a baseball farther than a bowling ball, and most people would find it less painful to catch a flying baseball than a bowling ball flying at the same speed as the baseball. Explain these two apparent facts in terms of

a.) Newtons first law of motion

b.) Newtons Second law of motion

A) Explained below

B) Explained below

Explanation:

A) The statement given is that most people find it less painful catching a flying baseball than a bowling ball flying at the same speed as the baseball.

Newton's first law states that an object at rest will continue at rest or if in motion will continue in constant motion unless an external force acts on it.

This means that the velocity has to be constant and net force is zero.

It therefore means that people will need to apply plenty of force on the bowling ball with a constant velocity in order to maintain net force equal to zero.

B) Newton's second law of motion states that force is equal to the rate of change in momentum.

The given statement in the question is true because of the amount of mass and force needed to be applied.

Now, due to the fact that the bowling ball will require a lot of force to be applied on it, it will be hard for people to throw it easily. Thus, it will be easier for most people to throw the baseball than the bowling ball

correct it is c.) b b
