Question

multiple answer 1 point how could you decrease the acceleration of an object? (check all that apply). increase the mass of the object. decrease the mass of the object. increase the net force. decrease the net force. none of the above.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second - law

Newton's second - law is $F = ma$, where $F$ is the net force, $m$ is the mass, and $a$ is the acceleration. We can rewrite it as $a=\frac{F}{m}$.

Step2: Analyze the effect of mass on acceleration

From $a = \frac{F}{m}$, when $F$ is constant, if we increase $m$, the value of $a$ will decrease.

Step3: Analyze the effect of net - force on acceleration

From $a=\frac{F}{m}$, when $m$ is constant, if we decrease $F$, the value of $a$ will decrease.

Answer:

A. Increase the mass of the object.
D. Decrease the Net Force.
