Answer:
Hi, you haven't provided the Table D of your Study Guide which contains the other variables needed to calculate the acceleration.
Therefore, I will just explain how to calculate the acceleration when we have the mass and the net force on the object.
Explanation:
For this example, we can use the Newton's second law of motion states that an object acceleration (a) is a function of the mass (m) of the object and the net force (F) on the object. Thus:
F = ma; a = F/m
(a) When the mass of the cart = 2 kg; if the net force is 32 kgcm/s^2
Then, a = F/m = 32/2 = 16.0 cm/s^2
(b) When the mass of the cart = 4 kg
Then, a = F/m = 32/4 = 8.0 cm/s^2
(c) When the mass of the cart = 6 kg
Then, a = F/m = 32/6 = 5.3 cm/s^2
