The students were holding acceleration constant. According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if they observed that tripling the mass required tripling the net force, it indicates that they kept the acceleration constant while varying the mass and the net force.
A group of students conducted several trials of an experiment to study Newton’s second law of motion. They concluded that tripling the mass required tripling the net force applied. What quantity were the students holding constant?(1 point)
