The force exerted on a cart is constant. On a frictionless surface, if the cart’s mass is increased, what will happen to its acceleration? Include which law supports your answer.
Decreases, because of Newton’s 2nd Law
A car accelerates from 20 m/s to 60 m/s in 5 s. If the mass of the car is 150 kg, find the force on the car and the final momentum.
F = 1,200 N
pfinal = 9,000 kg*m/s
