Answer:

option A

a = 8.65 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

force applied on a cart (forward direction) = 19N

frictional force experience by cart (backward direction) = 1.7N

mass of the cart = 2 kg

Frictional force always opposes applied force, so the Resultant force on the cart would have to be 19N - 1.7N.

Formula to use

Resultant force = ma

plug values in the formula

19 - 1.7 = 2(a)

17.3 = 2(a)

a = 8.65 m/s²

so the acceleration of the cart is 8.65m/s²
