what does this observation tell you about the relationship between the external force applied and the objects acceleration (the rate of change in velocity)?

Question

answer choices:

there is an inverse relationship between acceleration and force

acceleration is not affected by an increase or decrease in force

acceleration is directly proportionally with an increase in force

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

acceleration is directly proportional with an increase in force.

This relationship aligns with Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma). According to this law, if the force applied to an object increases, the acceleration of that object will also increase, assuming the mass remains constant.
