Answer:

It depends on the product of their mass and velocity

Explanation:

The momentum of a moving object is defined as the product of its mass and its moving velocity. So a same object would have larger momentum it's traveling faster, or gets heavier, and vice versa. In our case we don't have the exact value of speed and mass of both objects so we can't say which one has a greater momentum.

Which of the following represents a possible magnitude for the force of static friction when Xavier applied 72.1 Newtons of forc

lana66690 [7]

The possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.

The given parameters:

Applied force on the cart, F = 72.1 N

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

Static frictional force is the force resisting the motion of an object at rest.

$\Sigma F = 0\\\\F -F_f = 0$

where;

$F_f$ is the frictional force

$F= F_f \\\\72.1 = F_f\\\\F_f = 72.1\ N$

Thus, the possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.
