Two cars of equal mass, traveling at the same speed.
One driver presses his gas pedal halfway down. Fuel enters the combustion chamber, the burning of the fuel creates a force, and the car accelerates.
The other driver presses his pedal to the floor, sending twice as much fuel into the engine; the burn imparts twice the force to the car, which accelerates at twice the rate of the first car.
Okay?

not exactly what your looking for here but i'll try:
first F=ma (force = mass x acceleration)
Now let's say that we have an object falling (oh let's say it is a bowling ball) now this bowling ball has a mass m... we will use the same ball so the mass will be a constant
Now we drop it from some height h ... and if we use the formula for gravity 9.8m/s(squared) --- that is seconeds squared we can find what it's acceleration was when it hit the ground. and from there we can find the force it hit the ground with.
Now by change in motion they mean it's change in acceleration so obviously when a ball hits the ground it changes from whatever it's accel was to 0.
So if want a greater force the ball hits with we must move the ball up higher and drop it from height h+ (some amount) ... that will in turn increase it's accelration and the Force it hits the ground with will go up.

in accordance to Newton's First regulation, inertia is a rigidity opposing yet another rigidity: once you vacation a vehicle and turn left, your body will slightly bypass precise to comprehend equlibrium so once you roll a ball, later on, it really is going to end, that's friction alongside with inertia... at the same time as the ball began rolling, we may say that its route is the goint to the east, inertia acts on it by opposing a forve transferring to the west, for that reason it stops... acceleration lowers... have a effective physics life!

how about try to think of kicking a football and a bowling ball?
the football has less mass, when you kick it, it will go a far distance.
How a bout the bowling ball, I wouldn't kick it. Because it has more mass.
