Please answer ASAP

Answer 1

equal to; less than

Step-by-step explanation:

newtons 3rd law says that all forces have equal and opposite reactions so it would be equal to for the first one. but the acceleration depends on the mass of the object and because the truck is more massive, the acceleration would be slower, or less than.
