Mutt and Jeff are running along a path each pushing a cart loaded with rocks. If Mutt's wagon has a mass two times greater than Jeff's and they want to stay together, arriving at their destination at the same time, what must happen?
Responses
In order for Mutt and Jeff to arrive at their destination at the same time while pushing their loaded carts, one of the following must happen:
1. Mutt must exert more force to push his heavier wagon, compensating for the increased mass. This way, Mutt's greater force compensates for the greater mass, allowing them to move at the same speed.
2. Jeff must exert less force to push his lighter wagon, allowing them to move at the same speed.
In either case, the force exerted by Mutt and Jeff must be adjusted to account for the difference in mass between their wagons, ensuring they can stay together and arrive at their destination simultaneously.
