Question

What is the mass of a cart that accelerates at 3.0 m/s if a 0.5 N force is applied?

Answer 1

The mass of the cart is 0.167 kg

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law, which states that the net force applied to an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force acting on an object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the cart in this problem, we have

F = 0.5 N is the net force applied

$a=3.0 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Substituting, we find the mass:

$m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{0.5}{3.0}=0.167 kg$
