    If u increase the mass but the net force stays const. what happens to acclereration?
    What happens to the acceleration of a system when the mass of the system increases but the net force stays constant?

    Use

    As a constant force F is applied, ma must remain constant.

    However, since m increases, a should decrease to maintain ma constant.

    Use again.

    Mass is constant, so, F/a must be constant.

    As F increases, a should increase as well to keep F/a constant.
