A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 14 m/s2 .
What will the acceleration be if the force is doubled?
Since F = ma, a = F/m. If the force is doubled, the acceleration must also double.
What will the acceleration be if the object's mass is doubled?
a = F/m. In this case, the acceleration is inversely related to mass; so, if the mass is doubled, the acceleration is half as much.
