Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 500 \ Newtons }}[/tex]
Explanation:
The equation for force is given:
[tex]F=m*a[/tex]
First, we must find the total mass, which is the sum of the boy's mass and the go-cart's mass.
- total mass= boy's mass + go cart's mass
The boy's mass is 35 kilograms and the go cart's is 65 kilograms.
- total mass= 35 kg+ 65 kg=100 kg
Now we know the total mass and the acceleration.
[tex]m= 100 \ kg \\a= 5 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]F=100 \ kg * 5 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]F= 500 \ kg*m/s^2[/tex]
- 1 kilograms meter per square second is equal to 1 Newton.
- Our answer of 500 kg*m/s² is equal to 500 Newtons.
[tex]F= 500 \ N[/tex]
The force exerted by the go cart engine is 500 Newtons.
