Question

You push a cart with mass 30 kg forward, giving it an acceleration of 5 m/s How much force did you apply?

Answer 1

The answer to your question would be 150 n

Answer 2

The force apply is 150 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The force applied can be found through Newton's second law:

`F = ma` (1)

Where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Replacing all the values in equation 1 it is gotten:

`F = (30 kg)(5 m/s^(2))`

`F = 150 kg.m/s^(2)`

But 1N =
`Kg.m/s^(2)`

`F = 150 N`

Hence, the force applied is 150 N.

Key term:

1N: 1 Newton
