|
|
the object with the greatest mass
|
|
|
the object with the least mass
|
|
|
the two objects will accelerate at the same rate
|
|
|
the mass of the objects does not affect acceleration
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The two masses will accelerate at the same rate because the net forces are the same.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a collision, there is a force on both objects that causes an acceleration of both objects. The forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, yet the least massive object receives the greatest acceleration.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the same force is applied on two bodies of different masses, the larger acceleration will be produced in the heavier body.
Detailed explanation-4: -the object with greater mass will experience a great acceleration and the object with less mass will experience an even greater acceleration.
Detailed explanation-5: -This is often stated as force = mass x acceleration. If the same force is applied to two objects, the object with less mass will have more acceleration. For a balloon-powered toy car (which is a simple rocket in action), a lighter car (less mass) will speed up more quickly than a car with more mass.
