False.
Mass and acceleration are not inversely proportional; rather, they are related by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F = ma). This indicates that for a given force, acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. If mass increases, acceleration decreases for the same force applied, but that does not mean mass and acceleration are inversely proportional in the strict sense.
