Answer:

As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object.

Answer:

In short, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law says that when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate, i.e. to change its velocity, at a constant rate.
