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.
.5m\s2
F=ma. Greater mass leads to smaller acceleration given the same force.
force = mass x acceleration so if force doubles acceleration doubles to 8 m/s2
F = m aa = F/m = 12/22 = 6/11 = 0.545 meter/sec2 (rounded)
Friction pushes against the direction of movement, so it would be pushing East.

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.
Friction pushes against the direction of movement, so it would be pushing East.
The basic equation is: force equals mass times acceleration.
F=mass * acceleration 60kg m/s^2=10kg * acceleration 6m/s^2 = 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.
It's a cart carts volleyball.

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