You are close to the right idea, but not quite there. Here's why:

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states:

* Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)

This means:

* Acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied.

So, if you double the force, you will double the acceleration.

Important Note: This assumes the mass of the ball remains constant. If you change the mass of the ball, the acceleration will also change.
