Answer:

if we need to have same acceleration means if we want same speed of both of then we need to have more force for the one when more mass,more the mass the force needed to be exerted in order to move the things.

newtons 2nd law is f=ma
this means the amount of force that need to be exerted is mass into acceleration
both of them has same acceleration and so f=m like that if we see f is propotional to m and so more the mass,more the force ,so the one with 1000kg aka more mass has more force

Step-by-step explanation:
