Question

Steven is trying out for the position of picture on the baseball team he can throw the baseball fast the coach has clocked some of his pictures at 85 mph some of Steven's friends decide to play a joke on him and replace one of his baseball with one they tampered with instead of a mass of 145 g the boys added a lead weight so the mass is now 200 g Steven winds up and throws all the statements describes the possible results of this scenario except one which statement is an inaccurate explanation the difference in the mass is not significant and will not affect the force needed to throw the ball 85 mph since Force equals mass times acceleration Steven throwing Force must increase to throw the ball 85 mph Steven must throw the new ball and more force in order for it to achieve the same speed as previous throws if Stevens throwing a force consistent in the ball's mass increases the rate of the acceleration will be less

Answer 1

The inaccurate explanation is: "The difference in mass is not significant and will not affect the force needed to throw the ball 85 mph."

Answer 2

The inaccurate explanation in this scenario is: "The difference in the mass is not significant and will not affect the force needed to throw the ball 85 mph."

Explanation: According to Newton's second law of motion (Force = mass x acceleration), force is directly proportional to mass. Therefore, the increase in mass will require Steven to exert more force to achieve the same speed (85 mph) as his previous throws. The statement in question suggests that the difference in mass is not significant and will not affect the force needed, which is incorrect.

Answer 3

The inaccurate explanation in this scenario is: "The difference in the mass is not significant and will not affect the force needed to throw the ball 85 mph."

The explanation for why this statement is inaccurate is as follows:

When considering the scenario, it is important to understand the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in the context of Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma).

In this situation, Steven's friends tampered with one of his baseballs by adding a lead weight, increasing its mass from 145 g to 200 g. This increase in mass will indeed affect the force needed to throw the ball at 85 mph.

Since the force required to achieve a given speed is directly proportional to the mass of the object being thrown, a greater mass will require a greater force. This means that Steven must exert more force to achieve the same speed of 85 mph with the altered baseball.

Therefore, the accurate statement would be: "Steven must throw the new ball with more force in order for it to achieve the same speed as previous throws."
