A cart accelerates at 2 m/s2 when a force of 60 N is applied. What is the mass of the cart? (Formula: F=ma) A.) 0.03 kg B.) 30 kg C.) 62 kg D.)120 kg

payton:

okay so i can try to help

sophiaespinosa:

thank you^_^

payton:

no problem

payton:

okay so, we are working with newtons laws yeah?

sophiaespinosa:

^_^

sophiaespinosa:

yes

payton:

okay so explain step by step how you wuld try to narrow down your answer choices.

payton:

use wat you already know.

sophiaespinosa:

umm ok

payton:

did you get it?

sophiaespinosa:

umm no sorry i don't get how to do or how to understand the problem

payton:

okay well let me help you narrow it to two choice ---its not going to contain a decimal so threfor a it crossed off ---and also its not going t be over 100 so there goes d

payton:

so now wht are you left with?

sophiaespinosa:

b/c

payton:

yes

payton:

which of the two do you think your answer is?

sophiaespinosa:

i think i would be c as the answer

payton:

close but not quite it.

sophiaespinosa:

so it is b?

payton:

here let me help you by providing you with a helpful source...

HaydenwH:

well at least there is only one left 😉

Vocaloid:

They give you the formula F = ma, where F = force, m is mass, and a is acceleration they give you force and acceleration, and ask for mass therefore, plugging in your force and acceleration values F = ma 60 = m(2) can you try solving for m now?

payton:

try this to help you perhaps

sophiaespinosa:

ok i will ^_^

sophiaespinosa:

ok so umm vocloid do i divide 60 by 2 to get 30

sophiaespinosa:

to get answer

Vocaloid:

good, so 30kg is your solution

sophiaespinosa:

ohh ok thank you^_^/:)

payton:

correct

sophiaespinosa:

^_^ thank you so much
