Which of these best states Newton's Second Law?

• The greater the mass of an object the greater the force needed to change its motion.

• The greater the mass of an object the less force needed to change its motion.

The reason a tennis ball and a solid ball will accelerate at the same rate during free fall, in the absence of air resistance is that

• they have the same mass.

• the ball with the larger force has the smaller mass.

• they experience they same acceleration due to gravity.

• none of the above.
