does Newton’s second law of motion states that an object with a heavier mass will have more acceleration than an object with a smaller mass if both objects are moving at the same speed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass and directly proportional to the net force. In this instance both objects have the same amount of force. However, the smaller object has less mass. We know from f=ma that this must mean that the smaller object must have a larger amount of acceleration to make up for its lack of mass, due to how the force of both objects is the same.
