    It really depends. On a hill, the object would increase speeds. Flat terrain, it would slow.

    That statement is true.

    Prof Newton said: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

    - - If the force is constant, then the right side

    of the equation must be constant too.

    - - The right side of the equation is the product

    (mass) x (acceleration).

    - - If either of those changes, then in order to keep the product

    constant, the other one has to change in the opposite direction.

    - - So if the mass increases, then the acceleration decreases.
