You push a 12.3 kg shopping cart with a force of 10.1 N. a) What is the acceleration of the cart.
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!
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.
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.
force=mass*acceleration Therefore acceleration = force/mass This means you can change an objects acceleration in two ways, either by applying a force to the object (for example pushing a shopping trolly). You can also change the acceleration of an object by changing the mass of the object (putting shopping in the shopping trolly)
Common household items that exhibit friction include rugs on the floor, drawers in a dresser, and the wheels on a shopping cart.

The basic equation is: force equals mass times acceleration.
When you push a shopping cart, the friction that opposes the motion is called static friction if the cart is stationary or kinetic friction if it's already in motion. Static friction acts to prevent the cart from moving, while kinetic friction acts against the motion once it starts rolling. Both types of friction arise from the interactions between the cart's wheels and the surface it moves on.

Friction.
That depends on the force applied.

It will continue to roll until friction stops it, or runs into someone's car if your in the parking lot. Lol.
(Force on an object) = (the object's mass) times (its acceleration)
