Question

A student observes that for the same net force, heavier objects accelerate less. Which statement describes a correct conclusion?(1 point) Responses An increase in acceleration causes the mass to increase. An increase in acceleration causes the mass to increase. An decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase. An decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase. There is a positive correlation between mass and acceleration. There is a positive correlation between mass and acceleration. There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration. There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.

The correct conclusion is: **There is a negative correlation between mass and acceleration.**

This is based on Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration). For a given net force, an increase in mass results in a decrease in acceleration.
