Answer:

D. Newton's second law

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that force of an object is a product of its mass and its acceleration.

Mathematically, F= ma where  m is mass and a is acceleration

So from the statement above : The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied to it and  inversely proportional to its mass , it can be seen from the formula variation as;

F= ma -----making a the subject of the formula

a= F/ m

a= 1/m * F --------- a  is inversely related to m  as you can see from 1/m but directly related to F  hence;

Increase in mass with the same force applied causes the body to accelerate slower where as when force increases, the body accelerates faster.
