Concept explainers
A net force of 10.0 N is exerted by Irene on a 6.7-kg cart for 3.0 seconds. Show that the cart will have an acceleration of
To show: Acceleration of cart is 1.5 m/s2.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Net force,
Mass of cart,
Time,
Formula Used:
From Newton’s second law, the net force is given as
Where,
Calculation:
On substituting the given values,
There is no effect of time on the acceleration.
Conclusion:
Therefore, it is proved that the acceleration of cart is 1.5 m/s2.
