Newton's Second Law of Motion:
* Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)
This law tells us that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Explanation:
* Force: The force applied is the same for both objects.
* Mass: The smaller object has less mass.
* Acceleration: Since the force is constant and the mass is smaller for the smaller object, the acceleration will be greater.
Example:
Imagine pushing a small car and a large truck with the same amount of force. The small car will accelerate much faster than the large truck because the smaller car has less mass.
In summary: A smaller object with the same force applied will experience a greater acceleration because its smaller mass allows it to change velocity more quickly.
