A net force of 6. 84 N accelerates a cart of mass 4.35 kg. What is the acceleration of the trolley in m/s2, correct to 1 decimal place?

To find the acceleration, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by its mass. The formula is:

Acceleration = Force / Mass

Given in the problem, the force (F) is 6.84 N and the mass (m) is 4.35 kg. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Acceleration = 6.84 N / 4.35 kg

Now, we just need to do the division to find the acceleration.

Acceleration = 1.5735632183908046 m/s²

Rounding to one decimal place, the acceleration of the trolley is 1.6 m/s².

To find the acceleration, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that Force = mass * acceleration, or F = ma.

Given: Force (F) = 6.84 N Mass (m) = 4.35 kg

We need to find acceleration (a), so we rearrange the formula to a = F/m.

Substituting the given values into the formula:

a = 6.84 N / 4.35 kg = 1.57 m/s²

So, the acceleration of the trolley is 1.6 m/s², correct to 1 decimal place.
