Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 36AC
Once again you are at rest with a grocery cart at the supermarket when you apply a certain force to the cart for a short time and acquire a certain speed. Suppose you had bought more groceries, enough to double the mass of the groceries and cart. Neglecting friction, doubling the mass would have what effect on the resulting final speed if you used the same force for the same length of time? The new final speed would be _
a. one-fourth.
b. one-half.
c. doubled.
d. quadrupled.
