The object with the lighter mass will accelerate more
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are basically
two main types of energy, kinetic and potential. Potential energy is
energy that is stored. There are various types of stored, or potential
energy. Chemical energy from a battery is a potential form of energy,
elastic energy in a stretched rubber band is a form of potential energy,
but the most commonly referred to form of potential energy in physics
is that of gravitational potential energy. This is energy that is
stored due to an object's position. It is dependent on the mass of the
object, the height of the object above the ground or Earth, and the acceleration due to gravity.
Answer: option A) initially increases, then decreases.
Justification:
The increase of the rate of effective collisions among particles as the temperature increases is explained by the collision theory in virtue of the increase of the kinetic energy.
This is, as the temperature increase so the kinetic energy increase and the higher the kinetic energy the greater the number of collisions and the greater the chances that this energy overcome the activation energy (the energy needed to start the reaction).
Now, as the reaction progress the number of reactants particles naturally decrease (some of them have been converted into product) so this lower number of particles means lower concentration which means lower collisions and, thereafter, a decrease in the reaction rate.
