Let's solve the questions one by one:

1. To find the mass of the cart, we can use Newton's second law, which states that \( F = m \cdot a \), where \( F \) is the force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration.

Using the data from the trials:
- For Trial 1:
- \( F = 10 \, \text{N} \)
- \( a = 2.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
- Therefore, \( m = \frac{F}{a} = \frac{10}{2.5} = 4 \, \text{kg} \)

- For Trial 2:
- \( F = 12 \, \text{N} \)
- \( a = 3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
- Therefore, \( m = \frac{12}{3} = 4 \, \text{kg} \)

- For Trial 3:
- \( F = 22 \, \text{N} \)
- \( a = 5.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
- Therefore, \( m = \frac{22}{5.5} = 4 \, \text{kg} \)

Since the mass is consistent across all trials, the mass of the cart is **4 kg** (Answer: B).

2. Inertia is directly related to mass; the greater the mass, the greater the inertia. Among the objects:
- Object W: 16 kg
- Object X: 15 kg
- Object Y: 13 kg
- Object Z: 2 kg

Object Z has the least mass and therefore the least inertia. So the answer is **Z** (Answer: A).

3. To balance the chemical equation \( \text{Na}_2\text{O} + \text{CaBr}_2 \rightarrow \text{NaBr} + \text{CaO} \), we can balance each element:
- Sodium (Na): 2 on the left, so we need 2 NaBr on the right.
- Calcium (Ca): 1 on both sides.
- Oxygen (O): 1 on the left, so we need 1 on the right.
- Bromine (Br): 2 on the left (from CaBr2), therefore, we need 2 on the right (from 2 NaBr).

So the balanced equation is \( 1 \text{Na}_2\text{O} + 1 \text{CaBr}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{NaBr} + 1 \text{CaO} \).
Thus, the coefficients are 1:1:2:1 (Answer: C).

---

4. During the experiment, the correct constant value that must be maintained is **Mass**. The goal is to observe how acceleration changes due to varying force while keeping the mass constant (Answer: d).

---

5. The phase change that involves a gas turning into a liquid is called **Condensation** (Answer: A).

---

6. To find the acceleration of the block, we can again use Newton's second law \( F = m \cdot a \):
- Given:
- Mass \( m = 55 \, \text{kg} \)
- Force \( F = 220 \, \text{N} \)

Using the formula, we rearrange it to solve for acceleration:
\[ a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{220 \, \text{N}}{55 \, \text{kg}} = 4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]

Thus, the acceleration of the block is **4.0 m/s²** (Answer: D).
