The quantity that the students were holding constant in their experiments is acceleration. According to Newton's second law of motion, \( F = ma \), if they concluded that tripling the mass required tripling the net force, it implies that they were keeping the acceleration constant.
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) Responses mass mass number of trials number of trials net force net force acceleration
