Ahlayia is pushing a shopping cart at the grocery store. Her little brother, Denerio decides to give the cart a hard shove, as little brothers do:)
What is likely to happen and why?
(1 point)
The force of Denerio's shove will add to the
• force of Ahlayia's pushing and will slow the cart
The force of Denerio's shove will be subtracted
• from the force of Ahlayia's pushing, and the cart will stop
• The force of Denerio's shove will cause the cart to crash.
The force of Denerio's shove will add to the
• force of Ahlayia's pushing and the cart will move faster.
The correct answer is:
The force of Denerio's shove will add to the force of Ahlayia's pushing and the cart will move faster.
This is because when Denerio gives the cart a hard shove, his force adds to the force exerted by Ahlayia. This additional force will accelerate the cart, making it move faster.
