Answer:

The acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass (object). Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass. Your leg muscles pushing on the pedals of your bicycle is the force. Newton's second law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce in the motion of a body. It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it.
