Question

What is the acceleration of a 20 kg cart if the net force on it is 40 N?

Answer 1

Acceleration of the cart will be
`a=2m/sec^2`

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given force F = 40 N

Mass of the cart = 20 kg

From newton's second law we know that force, mass and acceleration are related to each other

From second law of motion force on any object moving with acceleration a is given by

F = ma, here m is mass and a is acceleration

So
`40=20* a`

`a=2m/sec^2`
