Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

It will move slower than the light the object. The equation is Newton's 2nd Law of F = ma. If the force is constant, and the mass changes to something larger, then the acceleration must become smaller. You could also just do this yourself, push two objects with your hands. The heavier one will move slower assuming you used the same amount of force
