Homework Statement
An object is moving to the right in a straight line. The net force acting on the object is also directed to the right, but the magnitude of the force is decreasing with time. What happens to the object?
The answer states that the object continues to move to the right with speed increasing with time. This doesn't make sense to me because according to the formula Force equals mass times acceleration, reduction of force is a reduction of acceleration. And a reduction of acceleration is a reduction in the velocity. What am I missing here?
Homework Equations
Force equals mass times acceleration
The Attempt at a Solution
Seems straightforward that acceleration would decrease
