DYNAMICS P20 013 A constant
force F is applied to a trolley of mass M kg. At the instant when the trolley is
moving with an acceleration of 4.00 m.s-2,
a 2.00 kg object is placed on the top of the moving trolley. The result is
the acceleration of the trolley decreases to 3.00 m.s-2
while the force F
acting remains
constant. Determine the mass M
of the trolley. View solution below only after you have completed the answering the question. |
