The diagram shows 2 boxes with forces being applied to them. In the diagram, force (F) is shown in newtons (N), acceleration (a) is shown in meters/second2 (m/s2), and the mass is shown in grams (g).

Which statement is supported by the diagram?

a)

As the mass of an object increases, the force required for it accelerate decreases.

b)

As the mass of an object decreases, the force required for to accelerate increases.

c)

Heavier objects require more force than lighter objects to accelerate at the same rate.

d)

Heavier objects require less force than lighter objects to accelerate at the same rate.
