If the same force is applied to a 2 kg object as to a 1 kg one, _______.
A) the velocity of the 2 kg object will be greater after 2 sec.
B) the distance traveled in the same time will be more for the 1 kg object
C) the acceleration of the larger object will be more
D) the acceleration of the 1 kg object will be 4 times more

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore, if the same force is applied to both objects, the 1 kg object will have a greater acceleration than the 2 kg object. This greater acceleration means that, over the same time period, the 1 kg object will travel a greater distance, making option B correct.
