Question

If a cart of 2 kg mass has a force of 8 newtons exerted on it, what is its acceleration?

Answer 1

This is better in the Physics section.

Answer 2

Hi Welcome to Openstudy!

inolwalst is right, this should be in the physics section, click here: \(\sf \href{http:///openstudy.com/study#/groups/Physics}{Physics}\)

anyway, since the site was lagging yesterday and some changes have been made, you probably don't see which section you were posting, so no worries :)

Apply newton's second law: F=ma
where m is the mass, a is acceleration and f is the force.
evaluate the formula in terms of 'a'
that will be : a=F/m
plug in your given values and you'll get it :)
