Imagine you're pushing a shopping cart. What happens to the cart's acceleration if you push it with more force?

• It decreases

• It stays the same

• It increases

• It stops

Answer explanation

When the force applied on an object increases, its acceleration also increases according to Newton's second law of motion.
