What happens to the acceleration of an object when the mass increases while the net applied force remains constant?
What happens to the acceleration of an object when the mass increases while the net applied force remains constant?
- Acceleration decreases. (correct)
- Acceleration becomes independent of mass.
- Acceleration increases proportionally.
- Acceleration remains unchanged.
In Newton’s Second Law, what affects the direction of the acceleration of an object?
In Newton’s Second Law, what affects the direction of the acceleration of an object?
- The direction of the applied force. (correct)
- The speed of the object.
- The mass of the object.
- The amount of net force.
If two objects of different masses experience the same net force, how will their accelerations compare?
If two objects of different masses experience the same net force, how will their accelerations compare?
- The lighter object will have a greater acceleration. (correct)
- Acceleration cannot be determined without additional information.
- The heavier object will have a greater acceleration.
- Both will have the same acceleration.

Study Notes
Newton's Second Law of Motion
- Unbalanced forces cause acceleration.
- Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force.
- Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.
- Acceleration occurs in the same direction as the net force.
- Mass (m) is a measure of inertia.
