Well, let's see . . .
Let's assume that acceleration INcreases when force DEcreases, and we'll check out this assumption.
If acceleration changes opposite to the change in force, then the less you push on something,
the more it accelerates, until you don't push on it at all, and then its acceleration becomes infinite.
If you wanted to get a car unstuck from a snowdrift, you would STOP pushing on it, and it would
accelerate out of the snow.
If you wanted to bunt a pitch so that it dies and just dribbles out a few feet from the plate,
you'd have to whack it with all your might; if you hit it too easy, with not enough force, it would
go sailing over the outfield fence and you'd have to settle for another darned home run.
Let's see, what else. Oh ... when you're ready to leave for school in the morning, and your backpack
is loaded with every book you own and it weighs about 75 pounds, and the bus is almost here
and you have to pick up the backpack really fast and get out of the house, you would reach down
and just touch one of the straps with your pinky, so that the backpack would jump up off the floor.
If you tugged at it with too much force, it would just slooooowly accelerate up off the floor and
it would take about ten minutes to get up to your shoulder.
Are any of these absurd enough for you ?
It should be pretty obvious that "more force" means "moreacceleration".

What can you do to accelerate an object faster if you can not increase the force?
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
One way to increase the force used to pull a wagon is to decrease the mass in the wagon true or false?
False. Since Force=mass*acceleration, decreasing mass will increase acceleration for the same applied force.
If the force acting upon an object is increased what happens to the objects acceleration?
its acceleration will be increased
Does acceleration either decrease constantly or increase constantly?
No, in basic physics acceleration depends on Newton's Second Law Net Force equals mass times acceleration
What happens to the acceleration as you increase the mass?
As per Newton's first law of motion, if the applied force remains the same, an increase in mass will result in a decrease in acceleration. In contrast, if the acceleration were to remain the same when the mass increases, there must be a greater force applied.
What can you do to accelerate an object faster if you can not increase the force?
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
What are two to increase the acceleration of an object?
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
How speed increase by applying force?
Applying more force in the direction of travel will increase the acceleration and therefore speed. If more force is applyed opposite to the direction of travel, acceleration will decrease.
What are the two ways to increase acceleration of an object?
Decrease the mass, and change the force.
What happens to the acceleration of an object if you increase the force of an object?
From Newton's Second Law of Motion, I know that Fnet=manet. anet is the net acceleration. From this equation, I know that Fnet is proportional to anet. THis means that if I decrease the net force, I decrease the net acceleration. If I increase the net force, I increase the net acceleration. If your Fnet equation is Fnet=Fapp-Ff, then increasing the applied force would also increase the net acceleration. Therefore, more applied fore, more acceleration.
A force that acts on an object does only when the object moves?
A force will produce acceleration when the object moves. force in the line of motion will increase the acceleration and the force opposite to the line of motion will decrease the acceleration.
How does force vary with acceleration at constant mass?
If acceleration is kept constant but you vary the mass, the force will vary in direct proportion to the mass. If the mass increases, the force will also increase, and if the mass decreases the force will also decrease. Newton's 2nd Law, illustrated by the equation F=ma, illustrates this.
How does net force affect acceleration?
If net force acting on a mass decreases, the acceleration of the object decreases. But if the mass of an object were to decrease while a constant net force acted on it, its acceleration would INcrease. If the net force on the object AND the object's mass both decrease, the object's acceleration could either increase OR decrease. We'd need the actual numbers in order to calculate how it would turn out.
will the shopping cart acceleration increase decrease or stay the same?
That depends on the force applied.
One way to increase the force used to pull a wagon is to decrease the mass in the wagon true or false?
False. Since Force=mass*acceleration, decreasing mass will increase acceleration for the same applied force.
If the force acting upon an object is increased what happens to the objects acceleration?
its acceleration will be increased
What does mass have to do with force?
force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). F=m*a. if mass is made subject, m=F/a. hence mass is directly proportional to force. therefore an increase( or decrease) in force means an increase ( or decrease) in force also.
