Here's why:
* Newton's Second Law of Motion: This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically:
* F = m * a
Where:
* F = Force
* m = Mass
* a = Acceleration
* Implications: If the force (F) is the same for both objects, the object with a larger mass (m) will have a smaller acceleration (a). This is because the force has to "move" more mass, resulting in a less dramatic change in velocity (acceleration).
