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

(1 point)
Responses

Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.
Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.

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

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

Mass increases with acceleration.
Mass increases with acceleration.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion is:

Increased mass results in reduced acceleration.

This conclusion aligns with Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). For a constant force, as mass increases, acceleration must decrease.
