The students were holding acceleration constant. According to Newton's second law (F = ma), if they tripled the mass and found that the net force needed to be tripled as well, it implies that the acceleration was kept constant during their trials.
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)
