Detailed explanation-1: -If you increase the mass at a given force the rate of acceleration slows. Therefore, mass is inversely proportional to acceleration. Rules to follow when equating force to mass are: Force is directly proportional to acceleration (force acceleration)
Detailed explanation-2: -The relationship between mass and acceleration is described in Newton’s Second Law of Motion. His Second Law states that the more mass an object has, more force is necessary for it to accelerate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Newton’s second law of motion describes the relationship between force and acceleration. They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.
Detailed explanation-4: -The acceleration of an object in reference to its mass is inversely proportional which means if the acceleration increases, the mass decreases and vice versa (physicsclassroom.com). The Basic Equation. Acceleration= Fnet/Mass or in other words a=Fnet/m.
Detailed explanation-5: -For example, if you are pushing on an object, causing it to accelerate, and then you push, say, three times harder, the acceleration will be three times greater. Thirdly, this acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
