if a person is pushing a cart with a force of 40 Newtons and it accelerates at 0.5 m/s2 , what is the mass of the cart ?
F=ma
m= Force/acceleration.

To find the mass of the cart, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma). Rearranging the formula, we have:
mass (m) = force (F) / acceleration (a)
Given:
Force (F) = 40 Newtons
Acceleration (a) = 0.5 m/s^2
Substituting these values into the formula, we can calculate the mass:
mass (m) = 40 N / 0.5 m/s^2
mass (m) = 80 kg
Therefore, the mass of the cart is 80 kilograms.
