For each of Newton's three laws of motion, compare hitting a 500 g croquet ball with a mallet to hitting a 56 g tennis ball with the same mallet and the same amount of force. Make sure you write in complete sentences and use all three laws.

Both of the balls will not move unless an outside force hits it. Newton's first law says this. Newton's 2nd law says that the 500 g croquet ball will need more force towards it for it move, as with the 56 g tennis ball, you will not need as much force to move it. Newton's 3rd law says that with every action, there's a reaction. So with the 500 g croquet ball, the ball will move at the same force that was put to it as with the 56 g tennis ball whatever net force that was put to it will be the net force the tennis ball gives out
