You observe three carts moving to the left. Cart A moves to the left at nearly constant speed. Cart B moves to the left, gradually speeding up. Cart C moves to the left, gradually slowing down. Which cart or carts, if any, experience a net force to the left? Cart A Cart C Cart B

Respuesta :

Answer:cart B

Explanation:

For cart A speed is constant therefore there is no acceleration because acceleration is rate of change of velocity

thus there is no net force

For cart B there is change in velocity in the left direction , so there is net acceleration towards left

[tex]Force=mass\times acceleration[/tex]

so there is net force in the left direction

For cart C there is decrease in velocity i.e. negative acceleration or deceleration . Therefore there is a net force towards right which opposes the motion
