Conrad Ayers · Answer 1

B) The final acceleration will triple between the first and third trial.

Explanation:

From the relationship (acceleration) = (force) / (mass) it follows that the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. During the second experiment the acceleration will double (as force doubles), and during the third it will be tripled compared to the first.
