The same type of engine is placed in two different airplanes. The first airplane is twice as heavy as the second airplane. Which statement is correct about the mass of the airplane and its acceleration, assuming a constant net force?(1 point) Responses Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more. Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more. Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide more force. Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide more force. Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide less force. Increasing the acceleration of the airplane causes the engine to provide less force. Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating less.
Decreasing the mass of the airplane will result in the airplane accelerating more. This is because according to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. If the net force is constant, reducing the mass of the airplane will result in a greater acceleration.
