The IMA of the pulley shown is 2.
(a) The net force on the shopping cart is zero.
(b) The the force of friction on the shopping cart is 25 N.
(c) When same force is applied to the shopping cart on a wet surface, it will move faster.
<h3>Net force on the shopping cart</h3>
The net force on the shopping cart is calculated as follows;
F(net) = F - Ff
where;
- F is the applied force
- Ff is the frictional force
ma = F - Ff
where;
- a is acceleration of the cart
- m is mass of the cart
at a constant velocity, a = 0
0 = F - Ff
F(net) = 0
F = Ff = 25 N
Net force is zero, and frictional force is equal to applied force.
<h3>On wet surface</h3>
Coefficient of kinetic friction of solid surface is greater than that of wet surface.
Since frictional force limit motion, when the frictional force is smaller, the object tends to move faster.
Thus, the cart will move faster on a wet surface due to decrease in friction.

Answer:
Mass, m = 26.54kg
Explanation:
Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.
Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;
Where;
- Fapp is the applied force
- Fg is the force due to gravitation
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Net force, Fnet = 345
Acceleration, a = 3.2m/s²
<u>To find mass;</u>
Fnet = Fapp + Fg
Fnet = ma + mg
Fnet = m(a+g)
m = Fnet/(a+g)
We know that acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²
Substituting into the equation, we have;
m = 345/(3.2 + 9.8)
m = 345/13
Mass, m = 26.54kg
