1) The net external force on a golf cart is 390 N north. If the cart has a total mass of 270 kg, what arethe magnitude and directions of its acceleration?

Sagot :

Given data

*The net external force on a golf cart is F = 390 N

*The cart has a total mass is m = 270 kg

The formula for the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart is given as

[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}[/tex]

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{390}{270} \\ =1.44m/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart is 1.44 m/s^2. The direction of the acceleration is towards the north direction.
