1. Increase the net force acting on the object:
- Newton's Second Law of Motion states that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object. This means if you apply a larger force, the object will accelerate more.
- Examples: Pushing a shopping cart harder will make it accelerate faster, or a stronger engine in a car will result in quicker acceleration.
2. Decrease the mass of the object:
- Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of an object. This means that the less mass an object has, the more it will accelerate for a given force.
- Examples: A small car will accelerate faster than a large truck with the same engine power. A feather will accelerate faster than a rock when dropped in a vacuum.
