Carlos gives a grocery cart a 60-N push. The cart has a mass of 40 kg. What is the cart's acceleration?
andre [41]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.5 m/s²

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Force as 60 N

Mass of the Cart as 40 kg

We are required to calculate the acceleration of the cart.

  • From the newton's second law of motion, the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the resultant force.
  • That is, F = ma , where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

Rearranging the formula we can calculate acceleration, a

a = F ÷ m

  = 60 N ÷ 40 kg

  = 1.5 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 1.5 m/s²

A boy standing on a bridge above a river throws stone A vertically upward with an initial velocity =15m/s.2 seconds later he dro
Anastaziya [24]

I'm not sure if this is correct but it's what I'll do

This is free-fall problem.
Stone A is thrown upward, at the point it falls down to the place where it was thrown, the velocity is -15m/s.

Now I choose the bridge is the origin. From the bridge, stone A and B fall the same distance which means Ya = Yb ( vertical distance )

Ya = Vo(t + 2) + 1/2a(t+2)^2
= -15(t + 2) + 1/2(9.8)(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5t^2 + 18t + 18
= 4.5t^2 +3t - 12

Yb = Vo(t) + 1/2a(t)^2
= 0 + 4.5t^2

4.5t^2 = 4.5t^2 +3t - 12
0 = 3t - 12
4 = t

Time for Stone B is 4s
Time for Stone A is 6s
