(a) The net force on the shopping cart is zero.
(b) The the force of friction on the shopping cart is 25 N.
(c) When same force is applied to the shopping cart on a wet surface, it will move faster.
<h3>Net force on the shopping cart</h3>
The net force on the shopping cart is calculated as follows;
F(net) = F - Ff
where;
- F is the applied force
- Ff is the frictional force
ma = F - Ff
where;
- a is acceleration of the cart
- m is mass of the cart
at a constant velocity, a = 0
0 = F - Ff
F(net) = 0
F = Ff = 25 N
Net force is zero, and frictional force is equal to applied force.
<h3>On wet surface</h3>
Coefficient of kinetic friction of solid surface is greater than that of wet surface.
Since frictional force limit motion, when the frictional force is smaller, the object tends to move faster.
Thus, the cart will move faster on a wet surface due to decrease in friction.

Answer:
Natural selection is a simple mechanism that causes populations of living things to change over time. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.
If you increase the mass of an object and want to move an object a specific distance, then you need to do extra work than the earlier
<h3>What is work done?</h3>
The total amount of energy transferred when a force is applied to move an object through some distance
Work Done = Force * Displacement
For example, let us suppose a force of 10 N is used to displace an object by a displacement of 5 m then the work done on the object can be calculated by the above-mentioned formula
work done = 10 N ×5 m
=50 N m
Thus, when an object's mass is increased and it is desired to move it a certain distance, more work must be done than previously.

Let k = the force constant of the spring (N/m).
The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
= 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
= 0.06125k J
The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
= 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
= 3.249 J
Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m
Answer: 53 N/m (nearest integer)
