If you also know the shopping cart's mass, you can use Newton's Second Law:

net force = mass x acceleration

will the shopping cart acceleration increase decrease or stay the same?

That depends on the force applied.


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.


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.


2 carts are pushed with the same amount of force However 1 shopping cart has a greater mass than the other how does the mass of the cart affect their acceleration?

F=ma. Greater mass leads to smaller acceleration given the same force.


How are Force Acceleration and Mass related?

(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)


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.


Irene exerts a net force of 9.4 N on a 65.1 kg shopping cart for 3.3 seconds What is the acceleration of the cart?

Hello, I am pretty confident that you would use the formula (a=F/m) . In your case the net force is 9.4N and your mass is 65.1kg. So the acceleration of the cart would be 0.14m/s*s. Good Luck!


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


What if your shopping cart has a mass of 65 kilograms In order to accelerate the shopping cart down an aisle at 3.0 meters per second what force would you need to use or apply to the cart?

Acceleration is expressed in meters per second squared, not just meters per second which is a speed.To calculate this, just use the formula force = mass x acceleration. Since you are using standard SI units, the result will be in Newton.


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.


Why is more force needed to accelerate a shopping cart full of groceries than the same cart when it is empty?

because you are adding more weight to the shopping cart


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.
