TRUE or FALSE: In a collision between A and B, increasing the mass of A will always increase the acceleration of B.
FALSE: It will increase the FORCE between the two objects, but will not directly affect the acceleration. The acceleration in a collision is dependent on FORCE

Two unequal forces are exerted in opposite directions on an object. Will the object accelerate?
Yes - the forces are unbalanced so the object will move in the direction of the stronger force.
