increase its mass

decrease the force applied to it
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, mass is inversely proportional to acceleration. Rules to follow when equating force to mass are: Force is directly proportional to acceleration (force acceleration) As force increases acceleration increases.
Detailed explanation-2: -The acceleration clearly goes down as mass increases. More power is required to pull heavier objects at same speed. If the power does not change, the speed and acceleration can only decrease.
Detailed explanation-3: -1 Answer. You can only increase the acceleration by increasing the net applied force in the direction of the acceleration. If it is accelerating there is a net applied force. Either increase the applied force or decrease any opposing force like friction or air resistance.
Detailed explanation-4: -"What are the factors that affect the acceleration due to gravity?” Mass does not affect the acceleration due to gravity in any measurable way. The two quantities are independent of one another. Light objects accelerate more slowly than heavy objects only when forces other than gravity are also at work.
