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
As rocket mass increases, acceleration increases.
As rocket mass increases, acceleration increases.
Acceleration cannot be predicted based on changes in mass.
Acceleration cannot be predicted based on changes in mass.
There are no changes in acceleration, as it would depend on the amount of force.
