If a constant force is applied to an object, how will an increase in the object's mass affect its acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law (F=ma)?

Question

BrainForge Quiz · Accepted Answer

B) Acceleration will decrease proportionally.. Newton's Second Law states F=ma. If force (F) is constant, mass (m) and acceleration (a) are inversely proportional. Therefore, an increase in mass will cause a proportional decrease in acceleration.
