Answer:
Forces make things speed up (or accelerate). When a force pushes or pulls the object, the object will move in the direction of the force. The bigger the force, and the lighter the object, the greater the acceleration.
Step-by-step explanation:
The action from a force can cause an object to move or speed up (accelerate), to slow down (decelerate), to stop, or to change direction. Since any change in velocity is considered acceleration, it can be said that a force on an object results in the acceleration of an object.
A simple mathematical relationship exists between the mass of an object (m), the net force on the object (f) and its acceleration (a). The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force and indirectly proportional to the object’s mass (a = f/m).
