A student is investigating mass and acceleration. The student applies the same force to two boxes, as shown in the table.

Question

Box Force Applied to Box (newtons) Acceleration (meters/second2)
1 20 5
2 20 2
The student claims that box 1 must have a smaller mass than box 2. Which argument best supports the student's claim?

a
Heavier objects require less force than lighter objects to accelerate at the same rate.
b
Lighter objects require greater force than heavier objects to start moving but will accelerate at the same rate.
c
Lighter objects require less force than heavier objects to start moving but will accelerate at the same rate.
d
Heavier objects require greater force than lighter objects to accelerate at the same rate.

Answer 1

d
Heavier objects require greater force than lighter objects to accelerate at the same rate.
