Suppose that Sphere X had become unfastened from the floor of the vessel during Trials 1 and 7. During which of these trials would Sphere X more likely have undergone the lesser amount of acceleration?
A.
Trial 1, because the magnitude of the electrical force exerted by Sphere Y on Sphere X was greater in Trial 1 than in Trial 7.
B.
Trial 1, because the magnitude of the electrical force exerted by Sphere Y on Sphere X was less in Trial 1 than in Trial 7.
C.
Trial 7, because the magnitude of the electrical force exerted by Sphere Y on Sphere X was greater in Trial 7 than in Trial 1.
D.
Trial 7, because the magnitude of the electrical force exerted by Sphere Y on Sphere X was less in Trial 7 than in Trial 1.
