Question

A force of 8,480 n is applied to a cart to accelerate it at a rate of 26.5 m/s2. what is the mass of the cart? 865 kg 320 kg 12.1 kg 3.12 kg

Answer 1

F = ma

So, m = F / a

= 8480 / 26.5

= 320kg

Answer 2

Answer:The mass of the cart is 320 kg.

Explanation:

Mass of the cart = m

Force exerted on the cart = 8,480 N

Rate of the acceleration of the cart =a = $26.5 m/s^2$

$Force=mass\times acceleration$

$8,480 N=m\times 26.5 m/s^2$

$m=\frac{8,480 kg}{26.5 m/s^2}=320 kg$

The mass of the cart is 320 kg.
