Newton's second law allows to find the result for the acceleration of the file and the ball is:
Newton's second law says that the force is proportional to the product of the acceleration for the mass of a body.
F = ma
Where F is the force, the acceleration and m the mass of the body.
[tex]a = \frac{F}{m}[/tex]
In this case we have a baseball with a mass m and a filing cabinet with a mass M.
M> m
Therefore, using Newton's second law, the acceleration of the cabinet must be less than the acceleration of the ball since the mass of the cabinet is greater than mass ball.
In conclusion using Newton's second law we can find the result for the acceleration of the filing cabinet and the ball is:
