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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
I would guess the steel ball because it is heavier.

If the forces were exerted during identical time intervals, which would have the greater change in velocity?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The steel ball because it is heavier would cause it to roll faster down the ramp.
