Two equal forces act on two different objects, one of which has a mass ten times as large as the other.

Will the more massive object have a larger acceleration, an equal acceleration, or a smaller acceleration than the less massive object?

Explain.

Smaller acceleration due to the force being applied to both objects being equal so the object with the larger mass will have a smaller acceleration

In this scenario, the more massive object will have a smaller acceleration. This is based on Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when the force is constant. ;

The more massive object will have a smaller acceleration than the less massive object when equal forces are applied to both. This is due to Newton's second law, where acceleration is inversely proportional to mass for a given force. Specifically, the more mass an object has, the less acceleration it will experience under the same force.
