* Direction: The direction of the acceleration of an object is always the same as the direction of the net force acting on it.
* Magnitude: The magnitude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force. This is described by Newton's Second Law of Motion:
F = ma
where:
* F is the net force acting on the object
* m is the mass of the object
* a is the acceleration of the object
Here's a breakdown:
* If a force is applied in a specific direction, the object will accelerate in that same direction. For example, if you push a box to the right, it will accelerate to the right.
* The stronger the force, the greater the acceleration. A stronger push will make the box move faster.
* The more massive the object, the less it will accelerate for a given force. A heavy box will accelerate slower than a lighter box if the same force is applied.
In summary:
* Acceleration is caused by force.
* The direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.
* The magnitude of acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
