If force is applied to an object and the object's mass remains constant, the acceleration of the object will change. According to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), if the mass is constant and the force increases, the acceleration will also increase. Conversely, if the force decreases, the acceleration will decrease.

If the mass of an object increases while the force applied remains the same, the acceleration of the object will decrease. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). With a greater mass, it requires more force to produce the same acceleration.
As mass decreases, the accelerating force required to achieve a certain acceleration also decreases. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration. Hence, with less mass, less force is needed to accelerate an object at the same rate.
If force increases while mass stays the same, acceleration will also increase. This is because acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied, according to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). So, as the force increases, the acceleration of the object will also increase if the mass remains constant.
If you double the mass of the block but keep the rocket's force the same, the acceleration of the block would decrease. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma). With twice the mass, the same force will result in a lower acceleration.
As you increase the mass, the acceleration decreases if the force applied stays the same. This is described by Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass when a constant force is applied.
