Question

multiple choice 1 point
if an object with a constant mass has a greater net force applied, what happens to acceleration?
it increases.
it decreases.
it stays the same.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second - law

Newton's second - law is $F = ma$, where $F$ is the net force, $m$ is the mass, and $a$ is the acceleration. We can rewrite it as $a=\frac{F}{m}$.

Step2: Analyze the relationship

Given that $m$ is constant, when $F$ increases, since $a=\frac{F}{m}$, the value of $a$ will increase.

Answer:

It increases.
