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.

direction, then the acceleration of the cart will decrease when mass is added.
If the cart happens to be moving at constant speed in a straight line, then its
acceleration is zero, and that won't change even if its mass changes.

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
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)
What explains why the cart always catches the ball and the ball doesn't fall behind the moving cart?
Because the ball and the cart are moving at the same forward speed.
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

What happens when your tee shot hits a moving cart?
ball must be played where it lies no matter what
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?

How do you get the cart moving in Nabooti in Poptropica?
you push the cart then jump on it
What explains why the cart always catches the ball and the ball doesn't fall behind the moving cart?
Because the ball and the cart are moving at the same forward speed.
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.
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
Why would a cart start moving faster if you give it a hard push than if you gave it a soft push?
You applied more force, therefore the acceleration will be greater, which will result in greater velocity.
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.
