This is explained by Newton's Second Law of Motion:
Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
From this equation, we can see that:
* Acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. This means if force increases, acceleration increases.
* Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This means if mass increases, acceleration decreases.
Example:
Imagine pushing a small box and a large box with the same amount of force. The small box will accelerate faster than the large box because it has less mass.
