Question

The greater the net force in the direction of motion, the ___ the ____ in the direction of motion.

  1. Greater, acceleration
  2. Greater, deceleration
  3. Smaller, acceleration
  4. Smaller, deceleration

hintHint:

F = ma

The correct answer is: Greater, acceleration


    • Newton's second law shows that there is a direct relationship between force and acceleration.
    • F= ma (F∝a)
    • The greater the force that is applied to an object of a given mass, the more the object will accelerate.
    • So, the correct option is a.
