A net force of 50 newtons is applied to a 20 kilogram cart that is already moving at 1 m/s the final speed of the cart was 3 m/s
valina [46]

Answer:

0.8 seconds

Explanation:

F=ma

Let x be the seconds the force is applied.

m = 20kg

F = 50 Newtons (kg*m/sec^2)

acceleration, a, is provided for x seconds to increase the speed from 1 m/s to  3 m/s, an increase of 2m/s

Let's calculate the acceleration of the cart:

F=ma

(50 kg*m/s^2) = (20kg)*a

a = 2.5 m/s^2

---

The acceleration is 2.5 m/s^2.  The cart increases speed by 2.5 m/s every second.  

We want the number of seconds it takes to add 2.0 m/sec to the speed:

(2.5 m/s^2)*x = 2.0 m/s

x = (2.0/2.5) sec

x = 0.8 seconds

Mid-ocean ridges happen along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing large volcanic eruptions of basalt.
