Ashopper in a supermarket pushes a loaded cart with a horizontal force of 15 n. if the cart has a mass of 30 kg, how far will it move in 3 seconds if it started from rest

The distance covered by the cart is 2.25 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the cart, m = 30 kg

Horizontal force, F = 15 N

Let d is the distance covered by the cart in 3 seconds if it started from rest. If a is the acceleration of the cart. Using second law of motion as :

The distance covered by the cart is given by :

Here, u = 0

d = 2.25 meters

So, the distance covered by the cart is 2.25 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
