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

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

Respuesta :

C. They are inversely related

Newton's second law is as follows:

Where is the net force
is the mass, and is the acceleration.
We can rewrite that same law as follows:

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.
