Which explanation BEST supports Newton's second law of motion which states that force = mass x acceleration?

Object Y will accelerate the fastest because it has the largest mass.

Object V will accelerate the slowest because it has the smallest mass.

Object Y will require the most force to move because it has the largest mass.

Object V will require the most force to move because it has the smallest mass.​


Sagot :

The answer is C. F=ma basically says that force is a function of mass multiplied by acceleration. The first two answers don’t make sense because there’s no necessary relationship between mass and acceleration. And for the last two, the higher the mass, the higher the force needed, therefore C is the correct answer.
