Question
In a grocery store, you push a 15.4 -kg shopping cart horizontallywith a force of 13.4 $\mathrm{N} .$ If the cart starts at rest, how far does it movein 2.50 $\mathrm{s}$ ?
Step 1
4 \, \text{N}$ and the mass $m = 15.4 \, \text{kg}$. We can use Newton's second law $F = ma$ to find the acceleration $a$. So, we have \[a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{13.4 \, \text{N}}{15.4 \, \text{kg}} = 0.87 \, \text{m/s}^2.\] Show more…
