Question

Use the data table to answer the question.

Relationship Between Acceleration and Net Force
Net force (N) Mass (kg) Acceleration (m/s2)
2.4 0.25 9.6
1.4 0.25 5.6
3.2 0.25
12.8

Which statement correctly describes the quantitative relationship between acceleration and net force on an object shown in the data table?

Responses

When the net force applied to an object changes, the mass of the object also changes.
When the net force applied to an object changes, the mass of the object also changes.

When the net force applied to an object changes, the mass of the object remains constant.
When the net force applied to an object changes, the mass of the object remains constant.

When the net force applied to an object changes, the acceleration changes by the same factor.
When the net force applied to an object changes, the acceleration changes by the same factor.

When the net force applied to an object changes, the acceleration changes by a different factor.

Answer 1

When the net force applied to an object changes, the acceleration changes by the same factor.

Reason: the mass is constant (0.25 kg) in the table, so a = F/m — acceleration is directly proportional to net force (e.g., 1.4 → 5.6, 2.4 → 9.6, 3.2 → 12.8).
