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)?

The correct answer to the question "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)?" is Option B: Acceleration will decrease proportionally..

The other options — A) Acceleration will increase proportionally., C) Acceleration will remain constant., D) Acceleration will become zero. — are incorrect for this GED Exam Prep question. As explained above: 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.
