- The acceleration will double (a = F/m, so doubling F with m fixed gives 2a).
- The mass will remain the same (force does not change the car’s mass).
- The velocity will increase faster — over the same time interval the change in velocity (Δv = aΔt) will be doubled, though the car’s instantaneous speed is not simply doubled by doubling the force.
- The mass will remain the same (force does not change the car’s mass).
- The velocity will increase faster — over the same time interval the change in velocity (Δv = aΔt) will be doubled, though the car’s instantaneous speed is not simply doubled by doubling the force.
