According to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to which quantity?

Verified Answer :

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Explanation:

According the Newton's second law of motion, force applied on an object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, the relation is as follows.

            Force = mass × acceleration

or,       Acceleration = \(\frac{Force}{mass}\)

Thus, we can conclude that according to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of object.
