Question 9 • BHS-Physics A-CR w/ Prescriptive Test

According to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to which quantity?

Answer
A
velocity
B
mass
C
net force
D
displacement

Explanation

Newton’s second law is F = ma, so acceleration can be written as a = F/m. For a fixed net force, increasing the object’s mass decreases its acceleration, making acceleration inversely proportional to mass. The correct choice is mass.
