Question

A cart is being pushed with a force of 20 N. According to Newton's second law of motion, what will happen to the cart's acceleration if the force is increased to 40 N?

Answer 1

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it. In this case, if the force is increased from 20 N to 40 N, the net force on the cart will double. Consequently, the acceleration of the cart will also double.
