A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s2. The free-body diagram shows the forces acting on the cart. The mass of the cart, to the nearest whole number, is _______  kg

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

Explanation:

A cart is pulled by a force of 250 N at an angle of 35° above the horizontal.

The cart accelerates at 1.4 m/s² horizontally.

Horizontal force = Fcosθ = 250 cos35° = 204.79N

We have F = ma

Substituting

        204.79 = m x 1.4  

              m = 146.28 kg = 146 kg

Mass of the cart = 146 kg

Answer:

146 kg
