Oliver stepped onto a three-car subway train with standing room only. What caused him to fall backward into other riders when the train suddenly moved forward?

• He was riding in the last car of the train.

• He had heat exhaustion from the overcrowded train.

• Oliver's body resisted a change in the subway train's inertia.

• Oliver's body was responding to the force of gravity.

The force of an object, with a certain mass accelerating at a certain rate, can be determined by using the equation below.

force = mass x acceleration

Which object would have the greatest force?

• A 5 kg object accelerating at 10 m/s

• A 5 kg object accelerating at 20 m/s

• a 20 kg object accelerating at 4 m/s

• a 20 kg object accelerating at 3 m/s
