A volleyball game is being played at Watauga Middle School against North Oaks Middle School. An athlete is preparing to serve the volleyball across the court while holding it motionless in their hand. The ball will remain motionless until an outside force makes it go up to serve. This scenario applies in line with Newton's -

Students were testing the effect of force on two different objects. Object 1 had a mass of 10 kg and Object 2 had a mass of 15 kg. Both objects were pushed with the same force. Which of the following statements accurately describe the motion of the objects?

Select TWO correct answers. 

• Both objects will move in the same direction at the same speed.

• Both objects will move in the same direction with Object 1 having a greater speed. 

• Object 2 will travel a farther distance with a lesser speed than Object 1. 

• Object 1 will travel a farther distance with a greater speed than Object 2.
