If the same net force is applied to a 7 kg object and a 21 kg object, which of the following is true?

A. The 21 kg object accelerates three times faster than the 7 kg object.
B. The 7 kg object accelerates three times faster than the 21 kg object.
C. Both objects accelerate at the same rate because the force is the same.
D. Neither object will accelerate because there is a net force on the objects.

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Mars?

F=ma, so a=F/m. Thus, the more massive object accelerates more slowly, that is, the 21 kg object is three times slower than the 7 kg one (2nd variant, 7kg is 3 times faster than 21kg)

Applying the same net force to two objects with different masses results in different accelerations. The 7 kg object accelerates three times faster than the 21 kg object. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
