A force of 25 newtons east and a force of 25
newtons west act concurrently on a 5.0-kilogram
cart. What is the acceleration of the cart?

A. 0 m/s2
B. 0.20 m/s2 east
C. 1.0 m/s2 west
D. 5.0 m/s2 east

Answer:

0

Explanation:

the forces gets cancelled off. hence when applying F=Ma, F=0 therefore a=o

The acceleration of the cart is 0m/s². Option A is correct.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

[tex]\sum F=ma[/tex]

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration

If a force of 25 newtons east and a force of 25  newtons, then the sum of force is expressed as:

[tex]\sum F = 25 - 25 =0N[/tex]

Get the acceleration

[tex]a=\frac{\sum F}{m} \\a=\frac{0}{5} \\a=0m/s^2[/tex]

Hence the acceleration of the cart is 0m/s²
