Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is because according to newtons second law which says the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. So take for example a net a net force in opposite direction will cause an object to slow down.

velocity vector here is not the same as acceleration vector
