Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence. The force applied to the physics cart is manipulated. This is the variable. The cart accelerates due to the force applied to the cart. Acceleration is therefore the variable. A "constant" is a parameter that stays the same regardless of the variables. One parameter of the cart that is held constant is the .

the mass of the cart is held constant.

Explanation:

This can be solved by referring to the Newton's Second Law of Motion. Newton's Second Law of motion states that whenever an unbalanced force is applied to a body, it produces an acceleration in the body, in the direction of force. Thus, both the force and the acceleration are directly proportional to each other. And the mass is kept constant during this process. As the formula derived by Newton's Second Law suggests that:

F = ma

It is clear from this equation that if the force and acceleration are variables, then the mass must be a constant.

Hence, the mass of the cart is held constant.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
