If you quadruple the force applied, the acceleration will also be quadrupled

Relationship between acceleration and force

Acceleration is related to force according to the formula:

F = ma

Where

  • F is the force
  • m is the mass
  • a is the acceleration

F = ma

Divide both sides by a

F / a = m

m = constant

Thus,

F₁ / a₁ = F₂ / a₂

How to determine the new acceleration

  • Initial force (F₁) = F
  • Initial acceleration (a₁) = a
  • New force (F₂) = 4F
  • New acceleration (a₂) = ?

The new acceleration can be obtained as illustrated below:

F₁ / a₁ = F₂ / a₂

F / a = 4F / a₂

Cross multiply

Fa₂ = 4aF

Divide both side by F

a₂ = 4aF / F

a₂ = 4a

Thus, the new acceleration will also be quadrupled
