To determine the statement that best explains the results, we need to analyze the information given in the question.
We are told that Ben's horseshoe lands three-fourths of the way to the target and Peter's horseshoe lands past the target.
From this information, we can infer that Ben had a more accurate throw than Peter because his horseshoe landed closer to the target.
However, the question asks for the explanation based on the mass and force of the horseshoes. Since the question doesn't provide specific information about the mass and force of the horseshoes, we cannot definitively determine which statement is correct. We can only make assumptions or guesses based on the given information.
Therefore, none of the statements provided in the responses can be determined as the best explanation without further information about the mass and force of the horseshoes used by Ben and Peter.
