The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so if you decrease its mass while keeping the net force the same, the acceleration will increase.

Answer: TRUE Explanation:Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: 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.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Since acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, decreasing mass will make the object lighter, and thus easier to speed up. So acceleration increases as mass decreases and vice versa
