According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass.

Here's the mathematical representation:

F = m * a

Where:

* F is the force applied

* m is the mass of the object

* a is the acceleration of the object

This means:

* If you increase the force (F) while keeping the mass (m) constant, the acceleration (a) will increase proportionally.

* If you increase the mass (m) while keeping the force (F) constant, the acceleration (a) will decrease proportionally.
