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 mass marble
F=m*a if F is the same and m is smaller, a must be larger. If m is larger, a must be less.

• If the forces were exerted during identical time intervals, which would have the greater change in speed?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The smaller mass marble.
F*’dt = m*’dv if F*’dt is the same and m is smaller, ‘dv must be larger. If m is larger, ‘dv must be less.
