Big Bee has a mass of 5 kg and hits a newly cleaned windshield accelerating at a rate of 2 m/s2.

Little Bee has a mass of 3 kg and is accelerating at a rate of 4 m/s2.

Which hits the windshield with a greater force? (Show your work below as proof.)

Answer

The Little Bee will have a greater force of 12N

Explanation

As we know that Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration (F=ma)

The Force with which the Big Bee will hit the windshield = (5kg x 2m/s^2)

Force of Big Bee = 10 Newton (N)

The Force with which the Little Bee will hit the windshield = (3kg x 4m/s^2)

Force of Little Bee = 12N

Hence, the little bee will hit the windshield with a greater force.
