Which of the following best explains how mass \( m \) influences a particle's resistance to changes in its velocity, based on the experimental verification of Newton's second law?
Mass provides a measure of inertia, meaning that a larger mass resists changes in velocity more strongly when an unbalanced force is applied.
Larger mass results in greater acceleration when an unbalanced force is applied.
Mass is not a factor in the relationship between force and acceleration according to Newton's second law.
The mass \( m \) is directly proportional to the force applied, and inversely proportionat to the acceleration,
