Question #4dc1e

Answer 1

"`"F " alpha" a"`" says that force and acceleration are proportional, therefore: triple the force and you will triple the acceleration.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law is often written F = m*a, but that is not the way Newton wrote it. He wrote it with the proportionality sign. The mass, m, of the object being accelerated is the constant of proportionality that allows us to use the equal sign.
