A constant net horizontal force is applied to a toy cart, causing it to accelerate. Which of the following changes would result in a greater acceleration of the cart?
Reducing the total mass of the cart
Increasing the temperature of the cart
Using a wider cart made of the same material and with the same mass
Changing the material of the cart to a denser one while keeping the mass constant
