If a force is applied to two objects with unequal masses, how will the acceleration of the objects compare?
Adi S.
Consider blocks of mass m and 2m. You push each block for 5 seconds with a force of 2 N. The change in momentum of the lighter block is Select the correct answer smaller than the heavier block the same as the heavier block larger than the heavier block

'Two objects having different masses are subjected to Identical forces act for the same length of time: The change in momentum of the larger mass object is smaller than the change in momentum of the smaller mass object; but not zero. zero There is not enough information to answer the question: larger than the change in momentum of the smaller mass equal to the change in momentum of the smaller mass object:'
