please help If multiple forces are acting on an object, which statement is always true?

The acceleration will be directed in the direction of the gravitational force.

The acceleration will be directed in the direction of the applied force.

The acceleration will be directed in the direction of the net force. <-- MY ANSWER

The acceleration will be directed in the direction of the normal force.

An example would be if you had a ball rolling on a table and you bumped the ball perpendicular to its initial velocity, then the ball would move at a diagonal angle rather than move straight in the direction where you bumped it.

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, so the acceleration vector tells us how the velocity's direction is changing.

The direction of the acceleration on a body upon which multiple forces are applied depends on the direction of the netforce acting on the body.

When multiple forces acts on a body, such that the different forces acts in different directions.

The acceleration will be in the direction of the netforce.

This is the direction where the Cummulative sum of the forces is greatest.

Acceleration due to gravity is always acting downward, if the upward force is greater than the Gravitational force, then the acceleration won't be in that direction.

Therefore, acceleration will be due in the direction of the netforce.
