(a) The system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are the wagon and the children outside the wagon.
(b) The acceleration of the child-wagon system is 0.33 m/s².
(c) Acceleration of the child-wagon system is zero when the frictional force is 21 N.
<h3>
Net force on the third child</h3>
Apply Newton's second law of motion;
∑F = ma
where;
- ∑F is net force
- m is mass of the third child
- a is acceleration of the third child
∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 12 N = 9 N
Thus, the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are;
- the wagon
- the children outside the wagon

<h3>Acceleration of the child and wagon system</h3>
a = ∑F/m
a = 9 N / 27 kg
a = 0.33 m/s²
<h3>When the frictional force is 21 N</h3>
∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 21 N = 0 N
a = ∑F/m
a = 0/27 kg
a = 0 m/s²

It will be traveling in the reverse direction it was originally going at 15.2 m/s
Answer:
m=146.277kg which is rounded to 146kg
Explanation:
Remember that F=ma
But F represents not 250N, but 250cos(35)N since the force is being pulled above the horizontal.
So 250cos(35)=204.7880111 approximately, and since a=1.4m/s^2, we have 204.7880111=m(1.4m/s^2). Then we divide both sides by the acceleration to get the mass. So m=146.2771508kg which the nearest number is 146kg
Mass is always in kg, unless stated otherwise.
