A volleyball is released three times from three different heights: 5 m, 10 m, and 20 m. Which statement is correct about the volleyball?(1 point) The volleyball may accelerate more quickly or slowly depending on its mass. The volleyball accelerates the same amount toward the ground each time. The volleyball accelerates more slowly toward the ground when released from a higher height. The volleyball accelerates more quickly toward the ground when released from a higher height.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
