The acceleration decreases if the mass increases, when the net force on an object remains constant.

Newton's Second Law

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

equation : F = m×a
