Answer:

this is why the larger object has a smaller acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton’s Second Law, when the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, the object with greater mass will experience a smaller acceleration and the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration. .

the larger mass will also have a larger weight because of gravity
