Answer:

if two objects of different mass have the same momentum, then the object with the least mass has a greater velocity

The greater the force that is applied to an object of a given mass, the more the object will accelerate

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, doubling the mass of an object results in only half as much acceleration for the same amount of force
