A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2. What will the acceleration be if:

a) The force is halved?
b) The object's mass is halved?
c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?

while this is physics...
by Newton's second law, F=ma, so F and a are directly proportional while m and a are inversely proportional.
