Which would require a greater force –– accelerating a 2 kg mass at 5 m s–2 or a 4 kg mass at 2 m s-2 ?

Which would require a
greater force –– accelerating a 2 kg mass
at 5 m s–2 or a 4 kg mass at 2 m s-2 ?

Thus, F₁ = m₁ a₁ = 2 kg × 5 m s^-2 = 10 N;

and F₂ = m₂ a₂ = 4 kg × 2 m s^-2 = 8 N.
⇒ F₁ > F₂

Thus, accelerating a 2 kg mass at 5 m s^-2 would require a greater force.
