A boy pushes forward a cart of groceries with a total mass of 40.0 kg. What is the acceleration of the cart if the net force on the cart is 60.0 N?

Answer :

1.5m/s2

F=ma

a=F/m

a=60/40

a=1.5m/s2

The acceleration of the cart is 1.5 meter per seconds square.

Given the following data:

  • Mass of groceries = 40.0 kg
  • Net force = 60.0 Newton

To find the acceleration of the cart, we would use Newton's Second Law of Motion.

Mathematically, Newton's Second Law of Motion is given by the formula;

[tex]Acceleration = \frac{Net\; Force}{Mass}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]Acceleration = \frac{60}{40}[/tex]

Acceleration = 1.5 meter per seconds square.

Therefore, the cart's acceleration is 1.5 meter per seconds square.
