Front

How does the mass of an object affect its motion? Options: The greater the mass of an object, the slower the motion of the object., The greater the mass of an object, the faster the motion of the object., The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force to move the object., The greater the mass of an object, the greater the distance the object will travel.

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force to move the object.
