Solution

Step 1: Given

When an object is subjected to several forces, its acceleration is determined by its mass

Step 2: Finding missing words

  1. According to the second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is determined by two variables: The object's mass and the net force acting on it.
  2. The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net unbalanced force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Hence, If there are several forces on an object, its acceleration depends on its mass and the net unbalanced force.
