Chapter , Problem 36

(choose chapter or problem)

A cart on a horizontal, linear track has a fan attached to it. The cart is positioned at one end of the track, and the fan is turned on. Starting from rest, the cart takes 4.55 s to travel a distance of 1.50 m. The mass of the cart plus fan is 355 g. Assume that the cart travels with constant acceleration. (a) What is the net force exerted on the cartfan combination? (b) Mass is added to the cart until the total mass of the cartfan combination is 722 g, and the experiment is repeated. How long does it take for the cart, starting from rest, to travel 1.50 m now? Ignore the effects due to friction.
