Mass is indirectly proportional to acceleration, so, lighter the object greater would be it's acceleration...

A) 0.10 kg is lightest among them, so it's your answer

Answer : A) 0.10kg beach ball

Explanation : Given a force of 10.0 Newtons, which mass will have the greatest acceleration?

0.10 kg beach ball

F=ma

Rearranging for acceleration gives

a=F/m

For the beach ball

a=(10.0 Newtons)/(0.10 kg)

a=100 m/s2

For the brick

a=(10.0 Newtons)/(2.0 kg)= 5 m/s2

For the steel ball

a=(10.0 Newtons)/(5.0 kg)= 2 m/s2

For the bag of feathers

a=(10.0 Newtons)/(10.0 kg)= 1 m/s2
