Question

if you push a cart with a larger force, what will happen to its acceleration (assuming its mass stays the same)? the acceleration will be zero. the acceleration will increase. the acceleration will stay the same. the acceleration will decrease.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

$F = ma$, where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass and $a$ is acceleration.

Step2: Analyze the relationship

If $m$ is constant, and $F$ increases, from $a=\frac{F}{m}$, $a$ will increase.

Answer:

The acceleration will increase.
