F = ma

So, m = F / a

= 8480 / 26.5

= 320kg

Answer:The mass of the cart is 320 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the cart = m

Force exerted on the cart = 8,480 N

Rate of the acceleration of the cart =a =
26.5 m/s^2


Force=mass* acceleration


8,480 N=m* 26.5 m/s^2


m=(8,480 kg)/(26.5 m/s^2)=320 kg

The mass of the cart is 320 kg.
