A grocery cart has a mass of 12 kg. if a force of 30 N is applied to the cart. What is the acceleration of the cart?
Answer (1)
SOLUTION:Step 1: List the given values.F = 30 Nm = 12 kgStep 2: Calculate the acceleration of the object.[tex]\begin{aligned} a & = \frac{F}{m} \\ & = \frac{\text{30 N}}{\text{12 kg}} \\ & = \boxed{\text{2.5 m/s}^2} \end{aligned}[/tex]Hence, the acceleration of the cart is 2.5 m/s².
