The terms force, inertia, mass, weight can be used to explain why it is easier to tackle a 220 lb player than a 288 lb player because:

Force has to do with the mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration. In this scenario, the mass of the player which weighs 220 lb is less than the player who weighs 288 lbs and it would be easier to make use of acceleration to tackle him.Additionally, weight has to do with the mass of an object multiplied by the force of gravity. In this scenario, we can see that the player with the less mass would be easier to tackle than someone who weighs more because of the force of gravity acting on their mass.Furthermore, inertia has to do with the ability of an object to remain at a specific velocity unless an external force acts on it. With this in mind, we can see that the external force here would be the force with which a person tackles the two players and it would be easier to get the player with less weight down on the ground.

Why do scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles? scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles because only the presence of photons can explain phenomena observed during experiments on the photoelectric effect. these observations include only some frequencies of light causing the ejection of electrons, no time gap existing between light striking a metal and electrons being ejected, and intensity having no effect on the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.
