Given information
One object has a greater speed than a second object.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
There is no relationship between the magnitude of acceleration and the magnitude of speed.
For example, assume that one object may have a large but constant speed. The acceleration of that object will be zero. Another object may have a small speed but be gaining speed and therefore have a positive acceleration. So in this case the object with the greater speed has the lesser acceleration.
