Question

1. which statement best describes the relationship of an objects mass and acceleration? a. there is no relationship between an objects mass and acceleration. b. the heavier the object, the greater its acceleration. c. the relationship between an objects mass and acceleration cannot be determined. d. the lighter the object, the greater its acceleration.

Explanation:

Según la segunda ley de Newton, \( F = ma \), donde \( F \) es la fuerza neta, \( m \) es la masa y \( a \) es la aceleración. Si la fuerza neta es constante, \( a=\frac{F}{m} \), lo que significa que la aceleración es inversamente proporcional a la masa. Entonces, un objeto más ligero (menor \( m \)) tendrá una mayor aceleración (mayor \( a \)) para una fuerza neta dada.

Answer:

D. The lighter the object, the greater its acceleration.
