- Based on a grade 11 physics student, answer the following question: In the Loblaws parking lot, the cart attendants decide to have some fun during a winter morning. The two attendants, Otis (72 kg) and Sito (82 kg), exert a minimum horizontal force of 29 N [F] to get their 153 kg carts to begin moving. After the carts have travelled for 11m, Otis and Sito jump on and the carts have a friction of 33 N. a.
