According to Newton's second law, when the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, an object with greater mass will experience a smaller acceleration and the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration.

The Potential/Kinetic energy of rock A will have more stored energy than rock B at the same height since it is lighter.

The Potential/Kinetic energy for rock B doesnt store as much energy as the heavier rock A.
