I Explanation by: Ben H [ Return to question menu ] Answer 1 decrease INCORRECT return to top Answer 2 increase CORRECT When force increases, so does the acceleration.--> according to F=ma. return to top Answer 3 remain the same INCORRECT When the force is increased, the acceleration obviously doesn't stay the same.--> according to F=ma. return to top return to top What's this question really asking? It is asking what happens to the acceleration when the force is increased. return to top |
