It was a children versus grown-ups competition at school. one event required the adult to throw a basketball as far as he could. when it was the child's turn, he had to throw a baseball instead. the event coordinator said, "it's only fair! " based on newton's laws, was this event fair?
yes, because an adult can apply more force than a child can. making the adult's object bigger than the child's object to even out the acceleration.
no, because a basketball is bigger than a baseball, and objects that are bigger accelerate slower.
yes, because acceleration doesn't depend on the size of the object.
no, because you must have the same size object in a competition.

In a system with only a single force acting upon a body, what is the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the work done by the force? answers: work is equal to the change in kinetic energy. work depends on the square of the change in potential energy. work is equal to the negative of the change in kinetic energy. work is equal to the square of the change in kinetic energy
