Work Step by Step

acceleration is related to the force applied to the object, so doubling the number of rubber bands doubles the amount of force to $4m/s^2$. Acceleration is also related to the mass of the object, so doubling the mass of the object halves the acceleration from $4m/s^2$ back down to $2m/s^2$.
