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, because the steel ball having the greater mass and being the one that is rolling down the incline is hitting the marble with lesser mass and is on a level surface.

• If the forces were exerted during identical time intervals, which would have the greater change in velocity?
answer/question/discussion:
The marble would have the greater change in velocity, because it is being hit by an object with greater mass and with a certain velocity from rolling down the ramp.
