The answer is D

Because this is newton’s second law of motion or law of acceleration and this equation show that the force and the mass are directly proportional so when the mass increases the force also increases. Please like my answer :)

Answer:

D. It takes more force to move something that has more mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation force and mass are directly related, so more mass means more force needed.

Think about this, you are applying 10 N force to move a car vs a tiny box. Which will move faster? From your experience, you know that light things move faster thus your box will move faster than car. Thus, to move something like car you will need more force.
