According to newtons second law of motion when the net force on an object is greater than 0, F=m*a where a is the acceleration, m is the mass, and F is the force.

Answer:

Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of an object

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton’s second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the external force. This law also gives the magnitude of force acting on an object. It is given by :

F = m × a

m is the mass of an object

a is acceleration due to gravity

So, it is clear that greater the mass less would be its acceleration. Hence, their exists an inverse relationship between mass and acceleration.
