The shopper pays for his groceries and pushes the shopping cart out of the store, where he encounters a ramp that helps him move the cart from the sidewalk down to the parking lot. What force accelerates the cart down the ramp?

Respuesta :

Gravity accelerates the cart down the ramp

Answer:

Gravitational force will accelerate the cart.

Explanation:

In the given case the cart is on a ramp in this situation the gravitational force is applied normally on the cart and its horizontal component which is [tex]mgcos\theta[/tex] and its vertical component which is [tex]mgsin\theta[/tex] acting along the ramp.

In this situation as we the acceleration is increased by a factor [tex]gsin\theta[/tex] which helps in increasing its acceleration.

Therefore acceleration due to gravity will accelerate the cart.
