Two wagons of equal mass are filled with an equal mass of bricks. Person A pushes one wagon with twice the force that Person B pushes the second wagon.

How is the acceleration affected?

A.
Person A's wagon will accelerate at twice the rate of Person B"s wagon.

B.
Person A's wagon will accelerate at 1/2 the rate of Person B's wagon.

C.
Both wagons will accelerate at the same rate, since the mass is the same.
