Problem

A cart of mass 15 kg15\,\text{kg} is pulled along a straight, horizontal track by a constant horizontal force. Its speed increases from 2.0 m s−12.0\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} to 6.0 m s−16.0\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} while it travels a distance of 5.0 m5.0\,\text{m}. Neglect friction. a. Calculate the magnitude of the horizontal force acting on the cart.
