A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.20 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 47.8 m/s at an angle of 29 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet, what are (a) the maximum height and (b) the range of the ball?

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.
