According to Newton’s second law of motion, what is the relationship between acceleration and mass? Acceleration:
|
|
Is directly proportional to mass
|
|
|
Is inversely proportional to mass
|
|
|
Does not depend on mass
|
|
|
Is always divided by mass
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a net external force acts on an object of mass m, the acceleration that results is directly proportional to the net force and has a magnitude that is inversely proportional to the mass.
