If net force acting on a mass decreases, the acceleration of the object decreases.
But if the mass of an object were to decrease while a constant net force acted on it,
its acceleration would INcrease.
If the net force on the object AND the object's mass both decrease, the object's
acceleration could either increase OR decrease. We'd need the actual numbers in
order to calculate how it would turn out.

How does friction affect the net force on an object?
Friction usually reduces the net force and the resulting acceleration.
How does the net force affect the acceleration of the object?
Newton's second law of motion covers this.The net force on an object accelerates the object.
How does a zero net force affect an object's motion?
Zero net force has no effect on an object's motion whatsoever.
How is acceleration and net force related when mass is constant?
Force = Mass x Acceleration
How acceleration and mass are related if the force is constant?
For a given mass, the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on the mass, and is in the same direction as the net force. In other words, the larger the net force acting on an object, the greater its acceleration. When the net force is zero, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity.
How does decreasing force affect acceleration if the mass stays the same?
ANY net force will cause an acceleration. If the force is reduced, there will be less acceleration, though.
How does friction affect the net force on an object?
Friction usually reduces the net force and the resulting acceleration.
How does the net force affect the acceleration of the object?
Newton's second law of motion covers this.The net force on an object accelerates the object.
What is the relationship between acceleration and net force?
Net force = total mass multiplied by net acceleration
What 2 things affect the acceleration of an object?
-- the object's mass -- the net force acting on it
How does a zero net force affect an object's motion?
Zero net force has no effect on an object's motion whatsoever.
How are acceleration and net force alike?
They are both vector quantities and acceleration is in the direction of the net force.
When an objects net force is zero is it accerlerating?
When an objects net force is zero, its acceleration is zero. No force , no acceleration.
How does the direction of acceleration compare with the direction of the net force that produces it?
Acceleration is proportional to net force.That means that acceleration is equal to (net force) times (something).The 'something' is [ 1 / (the mass of the object being accelerated by the force) ].
What is the force of acceleration?
There is no force of acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time. A net force causes acceleration.
How do you find the net force of a shopping cart that you already know the acceleration?
The basic equation is: force equals mass times acceleration.
What is the acceleration of?
There is no force of acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time. A net force causes acceleration.
