Aball with a mass of 1.5 kilograms is tied to the end of a rope. the ball is pulled to a height of 0.5 meters above the ground and released. the ball has joules of potential energy at position b. at position a, all of the energy changes to kinetic energy. the velocity of the ball at position a is meters/second. assume there’s no air resistance.

are there answer choices to this question? this seems like a question where you have options to choose from.

answer: good job it's all correct !

explanation:

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
