Newton's Second Law uses the equation Fnet=ma.

This equation tells us that mass is inversely proportional to acceleration.

This means that as the mass of a object increases, the acceleration decreases and vice versa.

This equation also tells us that if either mass or acceleration increase, the Fnet of an object will increase because mass and acceleration are directly proportional to the Fnet.
