Some students measure the acceleration of a wheeled cart being acted on by varying forces. The students record their data in the table shown below.
According to the data table, how much force is acting on the cart when the students measure an acceleration of 2.6 m/s²?

There is no data table shown to determine the force acting on the cart at an acceleration of 2.6 m/s². Please provide the data table to assist further.
According to the data table, the force acting on the cart when the students measure an acceleration of 2.6 m/s² is 58 N.
To determine the force acting on the cart when the students measure an acceleration of 2.6 m/s², we need to use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a), or F = ma. To find the force, we need to know the mass of the cart.
Unfortunately, the information provided in the question does not include the mass of the cart. Therefore, we cannot determine the force acting on the cart without this additional information.
To solve this problem, you may need to refer to the STAAR Reference Sheet or ask for additional information from the question or scenario.
