A science class performed three investigations that each used several balls with different masses. The table below describes the
procedures used and the conclusions reached during these investigations.
Force Investigations
Investigation
Procedure
Conclusion
1
Measure the force required to cause each ball at rest to The greater the mass, the greater the force required
begin to move
to move the ball
Measure the force required to cause each ball to slow
2
The greater the mass, the greater the force required

3
Measure the force required to cause each ball to change The greater the mass, the greater the force required

to change the direction of the ball.
Which statement best explains the conclusions reached during the investigations?
OA. An object will travel only in certain directions depending upon its mass.
B. An object with greater speed has a greater resistance to changes in motion
C. An object with greater mass has a greater resistance to changes in motion
OD. An object with greater mass has less resistance to changes in motion
