Question
which statement(s) describe the relationship between the effect of a force on objects of different masses?
the less mass an object has, the more effect a force will have on that objects motion.
the less mass an object has, the less effect a force will have on that objects motion.
the more mass an object has, the less effect a force will have on that objects motion.
the more mass an object has, the more effect a force will have on that objects motion.
the mass an object has does not impact a force on that objects motion.
According to Newton's second law \(F = ma\) (where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration). For a given force \(F\), \(a=\frac{F}{m}\). So, when the mass \(m\) is larger, the acceleration \(a\) (which represents the change in motion) is smaller. That is, the more mass an object has, the less effect a force will have on that object's motion.
