  • Understanding the Relationship Between Force, Mass, and Acceleration
    The quantity that remains constant when the net force on an object is increased is its mass.

    Here's why:

    * Newton's Second Law of Motion: This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically, this is expressed as F = ma, where:

    * F = net force

    * m = mass

    * a = acceleration

    * Constant Mass: When the net force is increased, the acceleration of the object will also increase (assuming the mass stays the same). This means the object will move faster and faster. However, the mass of the object itself remains unchanged.

    In other words, increasing the net force on an object changes its acceleration, not its mass.
