Question
when observing the acceleration values obtained by different items, what did you notice? what might have caused variations in these values?
answer choices:
the acceleration values were identical, caused by consistent external forces acting equally on all items
the acceleration values varied due to differences in the mass of the items
the acceleration values were random, with no discernible pattern or cause
the acceleration values increased uniformly caused by a gradual increase in the applied force

The most accurate answer would be:
**the acceleration values varied due to differences in the mass of the items.**
This choice reflects the fundamental relationship defined by Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), where the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass when the same force is applied. If there are differences in mass among the items, the acceleration values would vary accordingly.
