Force and Motion Basics (select Acceleration)
What is the relationship between mass and acceleration for a given nonzero net applied force? (1 point)
As mass increases, the acceleration decreases, because mass and acceleration are directly proportional.
As mass increases, the acceleration increases, because mass and acceleration are directly proportional.
As mass increases, the acceleration decreases, because mass and acceleration are inversely proportional.
As mass increases, the acceleration increases, because mass and acceleration are inversely proportional.

The correct answer is:
**As mass increases, the acceleration decreases, because mass and acceleration are inversely proportional.**
This relationship is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that Force = Mass × Acceleration (F = m × a). For a given net applied force, if the mass increases, the acceleration must decrease to maintain the equation.
