Question

what happens to acceleration if you apply a greater force to the same mass?
it disappears
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 force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration. We can rewrite it as \(a=\frac{F}{m}\).

Step2: Analyze the relationship

Given that \(m\) (mass) is the same and \(F\) (force) increases. Since \(a\) (acceleration) is directly proportional to \(F\) (when \(m\) is constant), when \(F\) gets larger, \(a\) will also get larger.

Answer:

It increases
