According to Newton's second law of motion, when the net force on an object is greater than 0 how is it's mass related to its acceleration?

AThey are directly related
BThey are equal
CThey are inversely related
DThey not are related at all

Hello!
B. They are equal  Hope i helped! :)

Answer:

C. They are inversely related

Explanation:

Newton's second law is as follows:

\(F=ma\)

Where \(F\) is the net force

\(m\) is the mass, and \(a\) is the acceleration.

We can rewrite that same law as follows:

\(\frac{F}{a} =m\)

where we can see that mass and acceleration are inversely related.

For a definite force value, greater than 0 as the problem mentions, if the mass increases, the acceleration will decrease, and vice versa.
