Question

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

Answer 1

F=ma Force is equal to mass times acceleration.

So looking at the equation if mass stays the same but we make F three times larger then acceleration will become 3 times larger as well because the equation must remain equal on both sides.

just multiply both sides of the equation F=ma times 3. So 3xF=3x ma
