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 forces of the same magnitude (in this case, equal and opposite forces), which will have an acceleration of the greater magnitude?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The smaller ball will have a greater acceleration, Since everything is equal and opposite, the smaller mass will compensate by having a higher velocity.

If the forces were exerted during identical time intervals, which would have the greater change in speed?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The smaller ball will have a greater change in speed.

I'm not sure to what video I was referring, but it's certainly not obvious. In any case it appears that you understand the situation.
