Solution
When a net force acts on an object, we observe that the object accelerates in the direction of force, with acceleration proportional to the force acting on the object.
Explanation:
According to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, when a net force is applied to an object, it accelerates in the direction of that force. The acceleration produced is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
