A shopper pushes a 8.0-kg shopping cart up a 13 ∘ incline, as shown in the figure Find the magnitude of the horizontal force, F⃗ , needed to give the cart an acceleration of 1.20 m/s2 .
Added by Tina M.
Step 1
First, we need to calculate the force of gravity acting on the cart. This is given by the formula F = m*g, where m is the mass of the cart and g is the acceleration due to gravity. So, F = 8.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 78.4 N. Show more…
