A car manufacturer wants to change its car’s design to increase the car’s acceleration. Which changes should the engineers consider making to the design? Choose two correct answers.

Newton’s second law states that acceleration equals net force divided by mass (a = F/m). Increasing the force from the engine increases acceleration, and decreasing the car’s mass also increases acceleration for the same force. Therefore, the engineers should increase engine force and decrease the car’s mass.
