Given data

*The net external force on a golf cart is F = 390 N

*The cart has a total mass is m = 270 kg

The formula for the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart is given as


a=(F)/(m)

Substitute the known values in the above expression as


\begin{gathered} a=(390)/(270) \\ =1.44m/s^2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart is 1.44 m/s^2. The direction of the acceleration is towards the north direction.
