How does mass relate to acceleration?

Answer 1

Mass doesn't like to move. Rather, it doesn't like to be forced to move. 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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object and inversely proportional to its mass. This means that in order to accelerate an object more, either a greater force is needed or the object's mass must be reduced. A smaller mass will generally result in greater acceleration for a given force.

Answer 4

Granted that the force on a body remains constant, increase in the mass of a body decelerates it.
