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 remains the same.
it decreases.
According to Newton's second law of motion, \(F = ma\) (where \(F\) is the net force, \(m\) is the mass, and \(a\) is the acceleration). When the mass \(m\) of the box is constant (assuming no change in mass), if the net force \(F\) increases, since \(a=\frac{F}{m}\), the acceleration \(a\) will also increase.
