Answer:

See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

This analysis can be easily deduced by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces or the total force on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = total force [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

We must clear the acceleration value.


a=(F)/(m)

We see that the term of the mass is in the denominator, so that if the value of the mass is increased the acceleration decreases, since they are inversely proportional.
