According to newton's second law, if you have an object that is put under acceleration due to a force, how could you reduce the acceleration

Answer:

We could reduce the force or increase the mass of the object.

Explanation:

Using the definition of force, according to Newton's second law,  (F = ma) the acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass. Therefore, if we want to reduce the acceleration of an object we have two options:

  1. We could reduce the force
  2. We could increase the mass

In both cases a will decrease.  

I hope it helps you!
