Students are using the experimental setup shown in the image in which the two ends of a string are attached to a car and to a hanger. The students conduct three trials in which they place metal discs on the hanger to manipulate the force applied to the car. As a result, the car accelerates along the table while two probes collect motion data. On the fourth trial of this experiment, a student places some discs on the car by mistake. How would this change the acceleration or velocity? (2 points) Responses In Comparison to the third trial, when the student adds discs to the car instead of the hanger, the mass of the car is increased, which will increase the acceleration of the car across the table. In Comparison to the third trial, when the student adds discs to the car instead of the hanger, the mass of the car is increased, which will increase the acceleration of the car across the table. In Comparison to the third trial, when the student adds discs to the car instead of the hanger, the mass of the car is increased, which will decrease the acceleration of the car across the table. In Comparison to the third trial, when the student adds discs to the car instead of the hanger, the mass of the car is increased, which will decrease the acceleration of the car across the table. In Comparison to the third trial, when the student adds discs to the car instead of the hanger, the mass of the car is decreased, which will increase the acceleration of the car across the table.
