Question

What happens to the acceleration of and object if the net force that acts on it triples in magnitude?

Answer 1

It also get triple in magnitude as compared to it's initial value, as they are directly proportional.

Answer 2

Answer:

Acceleration will also be three times.

Explanation:

According to Newton’s 2nd law of motion:

F = ma        ………. (i)

Where,  

F = force applied on the object  

m = mass of object  

a = acceleration of object

From equation (i) it is cleared that for a constant mass, force is directly proportional to acceleration. So, if force is increased 3 times then acceleration will also increase 3 times.
