the object with less mass.
neither. force pairs always occur simultaneously.
According to Newton's third law of motion, when two objects collide, the forces they exert on each other are an action - reaction pair. Action - reaction pairs always occur simultaneously and have the same duration. The mass of the objects does not affect the time for which the forces act.
