Question

Imagine two of the exact same shopping carts being pushed across the grocery store with the exact same amount of force. The two shopping carts are released simultaneously. They both keep going for a short distance. One of them moves with a greater acceleration than the other. Since they are the exact same cart and are pushed with the exact same force, which statement below describes a scenario in which it would be possible for one of them to have greater acceleration.
Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer: The mass of the carts is different.

Explanation: If the mass of the cart is less, it is able to be pushed further out because it weighs less which causes it to gain acceleration while the other cart could have a greater mass and its weight would cause it to slow down. Hope this helps! :).
