a bowling ball moving with a velocity of 5v to the right collides elastically with a beach ball moving at a velocity of 2v to the left. The bowling ball barely slows down. What is the approximate velocity of the beach ball after the collision?

The sky’s the limit

Explanation:

the answer is b, have negligible mass

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.
