Question

a student obseerves that the same net force, heavier objects accelerate less. which statement describes a correct conclusion?
a decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase
there is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration
an increase in acceleration causes the mass to increase
there is a positive correlation between mass and acceleration

Answer 1

F = m a
For a given F, if m goes up, a goes down.
That is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.

Answer 2

An increase in force caused an increase in acceleration
The force of gravity causes the raindrops to accelerate.
There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.
The net force causes a decrease in acceleration because without the force the ball's velocity would remain the same.
The force of the finger causes the books to accelerate and fall.
