question 3
how does increasing the force affect the acceleration of an object, assuming mass stays the same?
increasing the force, increases the acceleration if mass stays the same
increasing the force has no effect on the acceleration if mass stays the same
force is constant and cannot be increased or decreased
increasing the force, decreases the acceleration if mass stays the same
According to Newton's second law of motion, \(F = ma\) (where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration). If \(m\) is constant (\(m=\text{constant}\)), then \(a=\frac{F}{m}\). So, when \(F\) increases (with \(m\) fixed), \(a\) will increase.
