Grade 6 Energy and Momentum
To accelerate two objects with different masses at the same rate, the force used to push the object that has more mass should be                                                                   .
  1. smaller than the force used to push the object that has less mass.
  2. larger than the force used to push the object that has less mass.
  3. the same as the force used to push the object that has less mass.
  4. equal to the object's weight.
