Answer:

9.75 N

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the force needed to accelerate the shopping cart use the formula Force = mass × acceleration. Given that the mass of the shopping cart is 65 kg and the acceleration is 0.3 meter per 2 seconds, we can calculate the force needed.

65kg x 0.3m/2s = 9.75 Newtons
