What do you think will happen to the cart's acceleration when it is pulled with a constant net force?

The cart's acceleration will be directly proportional to the net force applied to it. If the force remains constant, the acceleration will also remain constant, assuming no other external factors are affecting the cart's motion.


Is a cart friction?

No a cart is a vehicle. Friction is resistance to a change in acceleration.


A cart of mass 10kg pulled along a smooth platform by a force of 60N. What is the acceleration of the cart?

F=mass * acceleration 60kg m/s^2=10kg * acceleration 6m/s^2 = acceleration


How will raising the end of the dynamics track give the cart the same acceleration each time?

The acceleration of cart is dependent on angle of inclination. So angle will change acceleration. mgSin(theta)


If you are pushing a shopping cart if you start pushing harder what happens?

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the greater the force, the greater the acceleration. So if you were to begin pushing a shopping cart harder, you go faster and there is more acceleration. If you were to push the cart softer there would be less acceleration.


A cart of a certain mass has a certain net force exerted on it and its acceleration is 4 ms2 what happens to the acceleration if the cart's mass doubled force?

force = mass x acceleration so if force doubles acceleration doubles to 8 m/s2


When mass is added to a moving cart what happens to its acceleration?

The cart's acceleration will decrease as its mass increases. This is why you must exert progressively more force on a shopping cart to move it along as items are added to it. If you were to continue to add items to the cart but not change how hard you push it, the cart would eventually become "impossible" to push.


If the cart has a mass of 22 kg and the girl pushes with a force of 12 N, what is the cart's acceleration?

.5m\s2


In a grocery store you push a 12.3kg shopping cart with a force of 10.1N. If the cart starts at rest how far does it move in 2.5s (assuming no friction from the floor. Hint calculate the acceleration?

You push a 12.3 kg shopping cart with a force of 10.1 N. a) What is the acceleration of the cart.


Does the acceleration due to gravity depend on the mass of the cart?

No. On Earth the force of gravity or acceleration is always about 9.8m/sec^2 Earth's gravity does not change just because the cart gets heavier lighter.


If the cart has a mass of 22 kg and the girl pushes with a force of 12 N what is the cart's acceleration?

Use Newton's Second Law, F=ma. Solving for a: a = F/m (acceleration = force / mass). If the force is in Newton, and the mass in kilograms, acceleration will be in meters/second2.


How do you find the net force of a shopping cart that you already know the acceleration?

The basic equation is: force equals mass times acceleration.
