This is directly described by Newton's Second Law of Motion:
Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
* Force: The push or pull acting on the object.
* Mass: The amount of matter in the object.
* Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity.
From this equation, we can see that:
* Acceleration is directly proportional to Force: If you increase the force, you increase the acceleration (assuming mass stays the same).
* Acceleration is inversely proportional to Mass: If you increase the mass, you decrease the acceleration (assuming force stays the same).
In summary: A larger force acting on a constant mass will result in a greater acceleration.
