What is the relationship between mass and acceleration for a given nonzero net applied force?

Question

• As mass increases, the acceleration increases, because mass and acceleration are inversely proportional.
• As mass increases, the acceleration decreases, because mass and acceleration are inversely proportional.
• 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.

Answer 1

As mass increases, the acceleration decreases, because mass and acceleration are inversely proportional.
