Two objects are in Free Fall, so both objects can be considered weightless.  Object A has a much smaller mass than Object B.  An equal force is applied
to both objects.

A. Object A will accelerate more than Object B because B has greater inertia than A
B. Object B will accelerate more than Object A because B has less inertia than A
C. Both will accelerate at the same rate because they are weightless
D. Both will accelerate at the same rate because there is no inertia in outer space
E. This is a trick question. Objects have no mass in outer space
