A student pushes a hollow ball with a small amount of force causing it to roll
quickly across the room. The student then pushes a solid ball with the same
amount of force. Which statement demonstrates an understanding of force and its
effects on an object?
a) The force on both balls was the same; therefore each ball pushes back with
the same amount of force.
b) The force on both balls was the same: however each ball pushes back with a
different amount of force.
c) The solid ball pushes back with a greater force than the hollow ball, because
the solid ball has a greater mass.
d) The hollow ball pushes back with a greater force than the solid ball, because
the solid ball moved faster and further.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Explanation

This question states that a student applied force to two balls, one ball was hollow while other one was solid ball. Now we are asked about which statement is correct. The answer to this question could be different if there are different options available. So, its always better to understand the physics behind it.
