Question

According to Newton's second law of motion, when the net force on an object is greater than 0 how is it's mass related to its acceleration?

A. They are directly related
B. They are equal
C. They are inversely related
D. They not are related at all

Answer 1

Hello!
B. They are equal Hope i helped! :)

Answer 2

C. They are inversely related

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law is as follows:

`F=ma`

Where
`F` is the net force

`m` is the mass, and
`a` is the acceleration.

We can rewrite that same law as follows:

`(F)/(a) =m`

where we can see that mass and acceleration are inversely related.

For a definite force value, greater than 0 as the problem mentions, if the mass increases, the acceleration will decrease, and vice versa.
