Question

a force of 30 n is applied for 5.0 s on two objects with different masses. which one has the greater acceleration? multiple choice the object with the smaller mass. both objects experience the same change in momentum. it depends on the direction of the applied force. the object with the larger mass.

Explanation:

From Newton's second law \( F = ma \), acceleration \( a=\frac{F}{m} \). When force \( F \) is constant, acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. So a smaller mass gives a greater acceleration.

Answer:

The object with the smaller mass.
