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?

The shopping cart with greater mass will have lower acceleration compared to the shopping cart with lower mass. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when the force applied is kept constant.


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?

First, calculate the acceleration using the formula acceleration = net force / mass. Plug in the values to get acceleration. Next, use the kinematic equation, displacement = (initial velocity * time) + (0.5 * acceleration * time^2), where initial velocity is 0 since the cart starts at rest. Plug in the calculated acceleration and time to find the displacement of the shopping cart.


How are Force Acceleration and Mass related?

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


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.


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.


Imagine you are pushing a shopping cart what do you need to know in order to calculate how much force you are applying?

You would only need to know the accleration of the cart, and it's mass. Since there are wheels on the cart, you shouldn't have to worry about friction. It is as simple as newtons second law Force = mass times accleration. If you know two of these quantities, you can solve the equation for the third. Hope this helps!


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!


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?

Oh, dude, you'd need to apply a force of 195 Newtons to get that shopping cart cruising down the aisle at 3.0 meters per second. Just give it a little push, and you're good to go. Just make sure you don't crash into any displays on the way!


How did doubling the force affect the acceleration of the cart?

Doubling the force will also double the acceleration of the cart, assuming the mass of the cart remains constant. This is in accordance with Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object.


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?

If the cart's mass is doubled, its acceleration would be halved if the force remains constant. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, so an increase in mass would result in a decrease in acceleration when force is held constant.
