Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the mass(m), acceleration(a), and force(F) of an object is:

F = ma

Make a the subject of the formula

a = F/m

The relationship above shows that there is an inverse relationship between the acceleration (a) and the mass(m). That is, as m increases, a reduces, and vice-versa

To order the acrobats from the largest to the smallest acceleration, we have to order them from the smallest to the largest mass

Therefore, the can order the acrobats from the larger to the smaller acceleration as shown below
