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

Given the same amount of force, which conclusion is correct?
(1 point)
O Mass increases with acceleration.
O Mass and acceleration have a direct relationship.
O Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.
O Acceleration increases regardless of mass.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion based on the data provided is:

O Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.

This conclusion is supported by observing that as the mass of the rocket increases, the acceleration decreases when the same force is applied. According to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma), for a constant force, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration.
