Question
use the simulation to answer the question. force and motion basics (select acceleration) what happens to the acceleration when the net applied force acting on the box increases? (1 point)
∘ it becomes zero.
∘ it increases.
∘ it decreases.
∘ it remains the same.
According to Newton's second law of motion, the formula is $F = ma$ (where $F$ is net force, $m$ is mass, and $a$ is acceleration). If the mass of the box remains constant (as it is the same box), when the net applied force $F$ increases, rearranging the formula to $a=\frac{F}{m}$, since $m$ is constant, an increase in $F$ will lead to an increase in $a$ (acceleration). So when the net applied force on the box increases, the acceleration increases.
