Question

The same motor is used in rockets with different masses. The rockets have different accelerations. According to Newton’s second law, how is acceleration expected to change as the rocket mass increases? (1 point) Responses There are no changes in acceleration, as it would depend on the amount of force. There are no changes in acceleration, as it would depend on the amount of force. As rocket mass increases, acceleration increases. As rocket mass increases, acceleration increases. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases. Acceleration cannot be predicted based on changes in mass.

Answer 1

According to Newton's second law, acceleration is expected to decrease as rocket mass increases. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when the force applied to the rocket remains constant.
