Given data
*The net external force on a golf cart is F = 390 N
*The cart has a total mass is m = 270 kg
The formula for the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart is given as
[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}[/tex]Substitute the known values in the above expression as
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{390}{270} \\ =1.44m/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart is 1.44 m/s^2. The direction of the acceleration is towards the north direction.
