You exert a larger force on the cart than the cart exerts on you. T/F

When you stop pushing, the cart will continue moving at the same speed. T/F
While the cart is pushed, it has a constant acceleration. T/F

NO!! Newton's Third Law !!!

Yes, Newton #1

Yes, Newton #2

To answer these questions, we need to understand Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

1. "You exert a larger force on the cart than the cart exerts on you." - False.
According to Newton's third law, the force you exert on the cart and the force the cart exerts on you are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. So, the forces are the same.

2. "When you stop pushing, the cart will continue moving at the same speed." - False.
In the absence of any external forces, an object in motion will continue moving at a constant speed in a straight line; this is known as inertia. However, pushing a cart introduces frictional forces, which act in the opposite direction to the motion. When you stop pushing, these frictional forces will eventually slow down and stop the cart due to the dissipation of energy.

3. "While the cart is pushed, it has a constant acceleration." - False.
Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes. When a cart is pushed, it experiences a net force that causes it to accelerate. However, as the cart's speed increases, the frictional forces acting on it also increase, gradually reducing its acceleration until it reaches a point where the net force is zero. At this point, the cart will continue moving at a constant speed (not accelerating).
