a person pushes a 60kg shopping cart at constant velocity for a distance of 22m she pushes in a direction 29 degrees below the horizontal A 48.0N frictional force opposes the motion of the cart. What is the magnitude of the force that the shopper exerts?

Step 1
This means there is no net force acting on the cart (Newton's first law). The frictional force is given as 48 N. However, the person is not pushing horizontally, but at an angle 29 degrees below the horizontal. This means that only a component of the person's Show more…

A shopper pushes a 5.2 kg shopping cart in such a way that the net force on the cart is 43 N. What is the acceleration of the cart?

A shopper pushes a 7.5 -kg shopping cart up a $13^{\circ}$ incline, as shown in FiGuRE $5-32$ . Find the magnitude of the horizontal force, $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{F}},$ needed to give the cart an acceleration of 1.41 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ .
You exert a force of a known magnitude F on a grocery cart of total mass m. The force you exert on the cart points at an angle u below the horizontal. If the cart starts at rest, determine an expression for the speed of the cart after it travels a distance d. Ignore friction.
