This is described by Newton's Second Law of Motion:

F = ma

Where:

* F is the net force acting on an object

* m is the mass of the object

* a is the acceleration of the object

This equation shows that:

* If you increase the force, you increase the acceleration.

* If you decrease the force, you decrease the acceleration.

In other words, a greater force results in a greater acceleration, and a smaller force results in a smaller acceleration.
