Step-by-step explanation:

According the Newton's second law of motion, force applied on an object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, the relation is as follows.

Force = mass × acceleration

or, Acceleration =
(Force)/(mass)

Thus, we can conclude that according to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of object.
