A student observes that for the same net force, heavier objects accelerate less. Which statement describes a correct conclusion?(1 point)

Question

Responses

An increase in acceleration causes the mass to increase.
An increase in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.
There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.

There is a positive correlation between mass and acceleration.
There is a positive correlation between mass and acceleration.

An decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion is:

There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.

This means that as mass increases, acceleration decreases for a constant net force, which aligns with Newton's second law of motion (F = ma).
