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 = ma
* F = Force
* m = Mass
* a = Acceleration
* Equal Force, Different Masses: If two objects experience the same force, but one has a smaller mass, the smaller mass will have a larger acceleration.
Example: Imagine pushing a small car and a large truck with the same force. The car, being less massive, will accelerate much faster than the truck.
