Explanation:

Remember Newton's Second Law.

If the force acting on both bikers is the same, we can look at the relationship between acceleration and mass.

If Biker 1 has a mass of 10kg and Biker 2 has a mass of 20kg, and both are being acted upon by a force of 100 N, let's see what that looks like. [tex]100 = 10*a_1 \rightarrow a_1 = 100/10 = 10[/tex]

[tex]100 = 20 *a_2 \rightarrow a_2 = 100/20 = 5[/tex]

So, given the same force, an object with GREATER mass will have less acceleration.
