the 2 gram toy truck would have a greater acceleration when a 10 N force is applied. This is because acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass, as described by Newton's second law (F=ma). Since the force is constant and the mass of the 2 gram toy truck is less than the 5 gram toy truck, the 2 gram toy truck would experience a greater acceleration. Therefore, the answer is A) 2 gram toy truck.
