Answer:

A. Mass and acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

  • According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum
  • Therefore; F = ma , where F is the resultant force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration of the body.
  • Resultant force depends on the acceleration and the mass of a body in motion, an increase in acceleration causes a corresponding increase in resultant force. A body with higher mass will have a larger strong force if the acceleration is kept constant.
