The acceleration on an object is proportional to the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Further explanation

Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

∑F = m. a


\large {\boxed {\bold {a = \frac {\sum F} {m}}}

F = force, N

m = mass = kg

a = acceleration due to gravity, m / s²

Newton's equation shows that the greater the net force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration, conversely the greater the mass of the object, the smaller the object's acceleration.

You can use this principle to choose the available answer options, because the questions are not complete
