Question
what happens to the force required if two objects have the same acceleration but different masses? the object with more mass requires more force. the force required is the same for both. the object with less mass requires more force. the object with more mass requires less force.
According to Newton's second - law of motion $F = ma$ (where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass, and $a$ is acceleration). When $a$ is constant, $F$ is directly proportional to $m$. So, if two objects have the same acceleration, the object with more mass will require more force.
