Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence. The force applied to the physics cart is manipulated. This is the variable. The cart accelerates due to the force applied to the cart. Acceleration is therefore the variable. A "constant" is a parameter that stays the same regardless of the variables. One parameter of the cart that is held constant is the .

the mass of the cart is held constant.

Explanation:

This can be solved by referring to the Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of motion states that whenever an unbalanced force is applied to a body, it produces an acceleration in the body, in the direction of force. Thus, both the force and the acceleration are directly proportional to each other. And the mass is kept constant during this process. As the formula derived by Newton's Second Law suggests that:

F = ma

It is clear from this equation that if the force and acceleration are variables, then the mass must be a constant.

Hence, the mass of the cart is held constant.
