Answer:

Decease the mass

Increase the force applied

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase the acceleration of the shopping cart, Brielle should reduce the load inside her cart.

According to Newton's second law of motion;

Force = mass x acceleration

Now, mass is indirectly proportional to the acceleration. The more the mass, the lower the acceleration a body will generate.

Lighter bodies moves with a faster acceleration.

In this case the force applied is constant.

If the force applied is also, increased the acceleration of the body will increase also.
