The greater the force acting upon an object, the greater the acceleration of the object.
Explanation:
This is a direct application of Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states:
* Force (F) is directly proportional to acceleration (a) and mass (m): F = m * a
Here's what this means:
* Direct Proportionality: If you increase the force acting on an object, you will increase its acceleration proportionally.
* Mass Matters: The mass of the object also plays a role. A more massive object will accelerate less for a given force than a less massive object.
Example:
* Imagine pushing a small toy car and a heavy truck with the same force. The toy car will accelerate much faster than the truck because it has less mass.
