The answer to this isDouble. When the net force is doubled, this means that the item may be pushed in a straight line. Since the force that was given is double the usual amount, this means that the acceleration will also be doubled. Acceleration refers to the capacity of the object that is pushed to gain speed over a certain period of time.

For example, how fast can the wheel move in a minute if it would be pushed? The wheel that is not pushed will have a slower acceleration as compared to the one that is pushed. To solve for the value of acceleration, the formula is F=ma.
