The crate's motion had a greater change of speed compared with the refrigerator when the same force was applied to both objects because it has less mass.

A. True.

B. False. When an equal force is applied all objects will change at the same rate of speed regardless of mass.

B. False. When the same force is applied to two objects, the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration (change in velocity) than the object with greater mass. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F=ma). Therefore, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it, and inversely proportional to its mass. So, the crate with less mass would experience a greater change in speed than the refrigerator when the same force is applied to both objects.
