Question

Force and Motion Basics (select Acceleration) What happens to the acceleration when the net applied force acting on the box increases? (1 point) Responses It increases. It increases. It remains the same. It remains the same. It becomes zero. It becomes zero. It decreases.

Answer 1

When the net applied force acting on the box increases, the acceleration also increases. This is based on Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration). If the mass remains constant and the net force increases, the acceleration must also increase. So the correct response is:

**It increases.**
