According to Newton's Second Law, which states that mass is inversely proportional to acceleration and directly proportional to the net force on an object, we get the equation
F=ma
Thereby stating that the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration equals the amount of force exerted. Also, rearrangement shows the inversely proportional relationship between mass and acceleration:
F(1/m)=a

The first law of motion by Newton states that an object in motion will stay in motion until an external force is acted upon it. The second law of motion by Newton states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. The more something weighs, or the more mass it has, the more acceleration or force is required to move it.
So to answer your question shortly, increase in mass affects how much acceleration or force is needed to move that mass.

How does Newtons second law relate to speedometers?
on a push bike, you provide the force, and this produces acceleration (velocity change), in the form acceleration = force/mass a speedometer measures instant velocity
How does newtons second law of motion relate to life?
if you know the mass, acceleration or Fnet or two of those three you can apply it to life
Do you divide force and mass to get acceleration?
you have to take mass and acceleration to get force
Why is this not the acceleration formula - acceleration force - mass if acceleration increases when force increases and it decreases when mass increases?
My bad, im asking why the formula isnt acceleration= force - mass
How does force relate to newtons second law?
Newton's second law is represented by the equation F = ma, which indicates that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.
How does the size of the change in motion relate to the strength of the unbalanced force and the mass of the object?
Size of acceleration = (net force)/(mass)
What three quantities does newton's second law relate?
force, mass, acceleration, and u could argue impulse

Explain how a football and a soccerball can have different accelerations if pushed by the same force?
Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.
How does Acceleration relate to gravity?
Not at all. However Gravity can impart an acceleration - Gravitational acceleration.
Does force describe mass or acceleration?
Neither. Force causes acceleration of mass. Mathematically, Force = Mass * Acceleration.
How are force mass and acceleration calculated with newtons second law?

What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?
As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.
Do you divide force and mass to get acceleration?
you have to take mass and acceleration to get force
Is the amount of acceleration directly proportional to the fore and to the mass?
No, an object's acceleration is inversely proportional to an objects mass.
How does force affects mass and acceleration?
Increasing force increases acceleration but increasing mass decreases acceleration.
