Explainarrow_forwardPart of Newton's 2nd Law says the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. So, if you were pushing a bucket along the floor, and someone dropped a rock (that has the same mass as the bucket) into the bucket, it's acceleration would O be doubled (increased by factor of 2) O be halved (decreased by a factor of 2) O wouldn't change O be quadrupled (increased by a factor of 4)arrow_forward
