    B

    Explanation:

    Newton's Second Law of Motion

    Newton's Second Law of Motion states that 'when an object is acted on by an outside force, the mass of the object equals the strength of the force times the resulting acceleration'.

    This can be demonstrated dropping a rock or and tissue at the same time from a ladder. They fall at an equal rate-their acceleration is constant due to the force of gravity acting on them.

    The rock's impact will be a much greater force when it hits the ground, because of its greater mass. If you drop the two objects into a dish of water, you can see how different the force of impact for each object was, based on the splash made in the water by each one.
