Final answer:
When the mass of the car is constant, increasing the applied force will result in increased acceleration, leading the car to travel a greater distance.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the mass of the car is kept constant and the applied force on it increases, according to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of the car would increase. This is because acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied when mass is constant.
As acceleration increases, assuming the force continues to act over a distance, the car will cover more distance in the same amount of time due to its increased velocity. Thus, increasing the applied force would effectively result in the car traveling a greater distance, provided resistance forces such as friction do not proportionately increase to counteract this effect.
