A rocket motor is used for different model rockets that have different masses. The results of tests for a rocket motor are shown in the table.

Question

Mass (kg)

Acceleration (m/s2)

0.0900

157

0.1000

141

0.1132

124

Given the same amount of force, which conclusion is correct?

(1 point)
Responses

Mass increases with acceleration.
Mass increases with acceleration.

Acceleration increases regardless of mass.
Acceleration increases regardless of mass.

Mass and acceleration have a direct relationship.
Mass and acceleration have a direct relationship.

Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion is:

Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.

This conclusion is consistent with Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). When the same amount of force is applied to different masses, an increase in mass results in a decrease in acceleration, as evidenced by the test results you provided.
