2. You push a 12.3-kg shopping cart with a force of 10.1 N. (a) What is the acceleration of the cart?
(b) If the cart starts from rest, how far does it move in 2.50 s?

Plz answer quick

Explanation:

The important part about this problem is the acceleration, which you must find by using

F = ma,

where F is the force applied,

m is the mass,

and a is the acceleration.

F = ma

10.1 N = (12.3 kg)a

a = 0.8211 m/s^2

Now use the kinematics equations.

d = vot + (1/2)at^2

where d is the distance moved,

vo is the initial velocity (0),

a is the acceleration,

and t is the time.

d = vot + (1/2)at^2

d = (0 m/s)(2.5 s) + (1/2)(0.8211 m/s^2)(2.5 s)^2

d = 2.57 m
