Two golf balls with the same mass were hit at the same time. golf ball a went a shorter distance than golf ball b. what could be a reason that this happened?

golf ball b experienced more friction.
golf ball a experienced less friction.
golf ball b was hit with a weaker force.
golf ball a was hit with a weaker force.

Golf ball A was hit with a weaker force

Explanation:

Golf ball B went a larger distance than golf ball A, so we could think friction affected golf ball A rather than golf ball B. That is why the first two choices are wrong.

The strongest forced applied made golf ball B go further.

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂

the answer would be a
