An object acted upon by a force will accelerate in the same direction of the force.

Here's why:

* Newton's Second Law of Motion: This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

* Force and Acceleration: Force causes an object to change its velocity (either speed or direction), which is what we define as acceleration. The direction of the acceleration is always the same as the direction of the net force.
