Problem

A 4.0 kg4.0\,\text{kg} cart is moving 3.0 m s−13.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} to the right. It then experiences a net horizontal force of 6.0 N6.0\,\text{N} to the right for 2.0 s2.0\,\text{s}, followed immediately by a net force of 4.0 N4.0\,\text{N} to the left for 1.0 s1.0\,\text{s}. What is the cart’s speed and direction at the end of the 3.0 s3.0\,\text{s} interval? a) 7.0 m s−17.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} to the right b) 5.0 m s−15.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} to the right c) 4.5 m s−14.5\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} to the right d) 1.0 m s−11.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} to the left
