This is directly related to Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states:
Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
This means:
* Direct Proportion: Acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. If you double the force, you double the acceleration.
* Constant Mass: Assuming the mass of the object remains constant, any change in force will directly affect the acceleration.
Example:
Imagine pushing a shopping cart. If you push harder (increase the force), the cart will speed up faster (increase in acceleration).
