Question

write a hypothesis about how the mass of a cart affects the acceleration of the cart. use the \if... then... because...\ format and be sure to answer the lesson question: \how do force and mass affect the acceleration of an object?\

Explanation:

According to Newton's second - law (F = ma), when force is constant, mass and acceleration are inversely related.

Answer:

If the force applied to the cart is constant, then the greater the mass of the cart, the smaller the acceleration of the cart because according to Newton's second - law (F = ma), when the force F is fixed, an increase in mass m leads to a decrease in acceleration a.
