An object with a higher mass has less inertia which causes it to speed up more quickly.
An object with a higher mass has less inertia which causes it to speed up more quickly.
An object with a higher mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up less quickly.
An object with a higher mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up less quickly.
An object with less mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up more quickly.
An object with less mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up more quickly.

The correct answer is: An object with a higher mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up less quickly.
The correct statement about inertia and acceleration, supported by the data, is: An object with a higher mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up less quickly.
To determine the relationship between inertia and acceleration, we need to analyze the data collected during the investigation. Let's examine the statements provided and see which one is supported by the data:
Statement 1: "An object with a higher mass has less inertia which causes it to speed up more quickly."
Statement 2: "An object with a higher mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up less quickly."
Statement 3: "An object with less mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up more quickly."
Statement 4: "An object with less mass has less inertia which causes it to speed up less quickly."
Based on the data collected during the investigation, we can infer that when the force acting on the objects is constant, an object with a higher mass has more inertia, which causes it to speed up less quickly. This means that Statement 2 is supported by the data.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
An object with a higher mass has more inertia which causes it to speed up less quickly.
