Question

What affect does a doubling of the net force have upon the acceleration of the object?

Answer 1

F = ma
a = f/m
if f doubled , acc. will be doubled

Answer 2

Answer: It doubles the acceleration of the object.

Explanation: The second Newton's law says that the acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object.

This can be written as A = F/m

where A is acceleration, F is force and m is mass.

If we doubled the net force, now we have:

A = (2F)/m = 2(F/m)

So now the acceleration is two times the previous acceleration.

This means that if we double the net force, we also double the acceleration of the object. (notice that this works for ani factor, if we multiply the net force by a real number K, the acceleration also is multiplied by the number K)
