forces do not cause acceleration

Answer 1

If the mass of an object stays the same and the force applied to it increases, the acceleration of that object will then **increase**. This is in accordance with Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration). If the force \( F \) increases while the mass \( m \) remains constant, the acceleration \( a \) must also increase.
