According to Newton's Second Law, if the net force $F_{net}$ on an object is held constant, how does increasing the mass $m$ affect the acceleration $a$?

• A. Acceleration decreases inversely with mass: $a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}$.
• B. Acceleration increases linearly with mass: $a=F_{net}m$.
• C. Acceleration decreases with the square of mass: $a=\frac{F_{net}}{m^2}$.
• D. Acceleration is independent of mass: $a=F_{net}$.

Answer: (A)
