Question

In other words, when a net force is applied to an object, the object will be accelerated in the direction of the force. The greater the force, the greater the acceleration of the object, but the heavier the object, the less it will be accelerated.

The chart below summarizes the forces applied to five different objects. Which object will experience the greatest acceleration?

Answer 1

Use Newton’s 2nd law: a = Fnet / m. For each object compute its acceleration (net force divided by mass); the object with the largest Fnet/m value has the greatest acceleration.

I don’t see the chart you mention — if you paste the forces and masses for the five objects I’ll compute the accelerations and tell you which is greatest. Example: if one object has Fnet = 6 N and m = 1 kg, a = 6/1 = 6 m/s² (larger than, say, 8 N on 2 kg → 4 m/s²).
