Question

Please help me! I don't understand how to do this!

Part 1: A 6 kg shopping cart goes from a velocity of 0.9 m/s to a velocity of 6 m/s over the course of 2.0 seconds. What is the cart's acceleration?​

Part 2: What is the net force acting on the shopping cart during that time? You will need your answer from the previous part.

Answer 1

From the information in the question, the acceleration of the cart is 2.55 ms-2.

We can find the acceleration using the following information from the question;

u = 0.9 m/s

v = 6 m/s

a =  2.0 seconds

But;

a = v - u/t

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

a = 6 - 0.9/2 = 2.55 ms-2

Force= ma

m = mass

a = acceleration

F = 6 kg × 2.55 ms-2

F = 15.3 N
