Answer:The mass of the cart is 320 kg.
Explanation:
Mass of the cart = m
Force exerted on the cart = 8,480 N
Rate of the acceleration of the cart =a = \(26.5 m/s^2\)
\(Force=mass\times acceleration\)
\(8,480 N=m\times 26.5 m/s^2\)
\(m=\frac{8,480 kg}{26.5 m/s^2}=320 kg\)
The mass of the cart is 320 kg.
