A steel ball rolls down a ramp and collides with a marble, as in the video. The marble is slightly smaller and quite a bit less massive than the ball.
If they both experience the same force, which will have the greater acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The marble will have a quicker acceleration because the energy from the ball is being transfered to it and the marble has less mass to accelerate.
@& Good, but there's an important distinction here. Energy is indeed being transferred, but force is the key to acceleration.*@

If the forces were exerted during identical time intervals, which would have the greater change in velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The marble which is smaller and less massive would experience a greater change in velocity because there is less mass to accelerate in the given time.
