Newton's second law states that F = m x a (Force is mass times acceleration). Which example would have the GREATEST acceleration?

Aa 10 kg ball thrown with a 50 Newton force
Ba 1 kg ball thrown with a 0.5 Newton force
Ca 50 kg student launched by a 100 Newton catapult
Da 500 kg car accelerated by 1000 Newtons from the engine

Im 100% sure that the answer is A

Answer : The correct option is, (A) a 10 kg ball thrown with a 50 Newton force

Explanation :

Formula used : \(F=m\times a\)

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Calculate the acceleration for option (A) :

\(50N=10Kg\times a\\\\a=5m/s^2\)

Calculate the acceleration for option (B) :

\(0.5N=1Kg\times a\\\\a=0.5m/s^2\)

Calculate the acceleration for option (C) :

\(100N=50Kg\times a\\\\a=2m/s^2\)

Calculate the acceleration for option (D) :

\(1000N=500Kg\times a\\\\a=2m/s^2\)

From this we conclude that option (A) have the greatest acceleration.

Hence, the correct option is, (A)
