**Problem:**Bob pushes on a frictionless cart of mass 6.8 kg, and the cart has an acceleration of 5.7 m/s². If Bob now pushes twice as hard on a cart with twice the mass, what will be the acceleration of the heavier cart?**Solution:**To find the acceleration of the heavier cart when Bob pushes twice as hard, we follow these steps:Given:- Initial mass of the cart (m₁) = 6.8 kg- Acceleration of the cart (a₁) = 5.7 m/s²- Force exerted by Bob (F) = m₁ * a₁We need to determine:- The acceleration (a₂) of the new cart with twice the mass when Bob pushes with twice the force.Step-by-step calculation:1. Calculate the force Bob initially exerts: \[ F = m₁ \cdot a₁ = 6.8 \text{ kg} \cdot 5.7 \text{ m/s}^2 = 38.76 \text{ N} \]2. If Bob pushes twice as hard, the force will be: \[ F_{\text{new}} = 2 \cdot F = 2 \cdot 38.76 \text{ N} = 77.52 \text{ N} \]3. The new cart has twice the mass: \[ m₂ = 2 \cdot m₁ = 2 \cdot 6.8 \text{ kg} = 13.6 \text{ kg} \]4. Using Newton's second law, calculate the acceleration (a₂) of the heavier cart: \[ a₂ = \frac{F_{\text{new}}}{m₂} = \frac{77.52 \text{ N}}{13.6 \text{ kg}} \]5. Compute the result: \[ a₂ = 5.7 \text{ m/s}^2 \]Thus, the acceleration of the heavier cart will be \( 5.7 \text{ m/s}^2 \).

Given: The mass of the cart is 6.8 kg. The acceleration of the cart is 5.7 m/s2.

Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 47.2 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together.

Alice and Bob had car trouble. Their car broke down and Bob could not restart it. Alice got out to push the car and after some time she asked Bob if he would trade jobs with her for a while. Bob answered, "It won't matter if I do. I took physics, and I know that no matter how hard I push on the car, it will push back on me just as hard so I won't accomplish anything. That's Newton's Third Law and it is always true. It has been tested millions of times. It wouldn't matter if I pushed the car. I wouldn't be able to push it anywhere." Aside from the fact that his relationship with Alice is probably fınished, which of the following correctly explains a flaw in Bob's logic? The third law says that the two forces he is talking about are only approximately equal. The third law does not apply in this case because the car is on wheels. O The two forces he is talking about are on two different objects. Thw two forces will not be the same because the two masses are different. The third law only…
