You observe three carts moving to the right. Cart A moves to the right at nearly constant speed. Cart B moves to the right, gradually speeding up. Cart C moves to the right, gradually slowing down. Which cart or carts, if any, experience a net force to the right

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cart A is moving to the right with constant speed i.e. net acceleration is zero

because acceleration is change in velocity in given time

Cart B is moving towards right with gradually speed up so there is net acceleration which helps to increase the velocity s

This indicates the net force acting on the cart towards right

For cart C there is gradual slow down of cart which indicates cart is decelerating and a net force is acting towards which opposes its motion.
