Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.
F = m a
The larger mass will require greater force to make the same acceleration.

Answer:

It takes more force to accelerate a dump truck

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a dump truck has more mass so it would also have more friction and accelerate slower.
