Question

Harry and Hagrid needed to get money out of Gringotts bank. The bank cart was accelerating at a rate of 4 m/s2 and it had a mass of 8,000 kg. What is the net force acting on the cart?

USE THE FORMULA: F=m∙a Show all your work!

Answer 1

Your teacher must be a fan of Harry Porter!

The cart had a mass of 8,000 kg and it was accelerating at a rate of 4 m/s2.

Using the formula Force = mass * acceleration

Net force on the cart = 8000*4

= 32000 Newton

Answer 2

F=m∙a

m, mass = 8,000 kg

a, accelerating rate = 4 m/s2

F=8000*4

=32000 kg m/s2

=32000 N
