Imagine you kick four balls with the same amount of force. Which one will go the farthest?

Question

A

a 3-pound ball

B

a 5-pound ball

C

a 15-pound ball

D

a 25-pound ball

Answer 1

Assuming all other factors are equal (such as air resistance), the 25-pound ball would go the farthest. This is because it has more mass, meaning it has more inertia and would require more force to stop it once it is in motion. Therefore, it would travel the farthest distance with the same amount of force applied.
