The acceleration doubles.
Explanation:
* Newton's Second Law of Motion: This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Mathematically:
* F = m * a
* Where:
* F = Force
* m = Mass
* a = Acceleration
* The Relationship: If you keep the force constant and reduce the mass by half, the acceleration must double to maintain the equality.
Example:
Imagine you push a box with a certain force. If you were to replace the box with a box of half the mass, you would find that the lighter box accelerates twice as fast.
Important Note: This assumes the force acting on the object remains constant. If the force changes, the acceleration will also change accordingly.
