The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object
Explanation:
Newton's second law of motion states that the net force applied on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
where
F is the net force
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
The equation can be rewritten also as follows
[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}[/tex]
From this second form, we observe that:
- The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied, [tex]a\propto F[/tex], so if the force increases the acceleration increases
- The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object, [tex]a\propto \frac{1}{m}[/tex], so if the mass increases, the acceleration decreases and viceversa
