What is the relationship between acceleration and mass?

Solution

Newton's second law of motion

  1. From Newton's second law of motion the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.
  2. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.
  3. The mathematical equation relating the mass and acceleration is given as:
    F=m.a
    Where F represents the force, m is the mass, a is the acceleration of the body.
  4. If the force is constant, then acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the body.
    a=Fma1mFisconstant
