That statement is correct! It's a fundamental principle of physics known as Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Here's a breakdown:

* Net force: The overall force acting on an object, considering all forces and their directions.

* Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity. This means how quickly the object's speed and direction are changing.

* Direction: The force dictates the direction of the acceleration.

In simpler terms:

* If you push a box to the right, the box will accelerate to the right.

* If you pull a rope upwards, the object attached to the rope will accelerate upwards.

* The stronger the force, the greater the acceleration.
