Homework Help: Physics - Force

Posted by Shaila on Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 1:43pm.

A 0.30kg lab cart is observed to accelerate twice as fast as a 0.60kg cart. Does that mean that the net force on the more massive cart is twice as large as the force on the smaller cart? Explain.

net force=mass*a
if the mass is 1/2, and a is twice, the net force must be the same.
