Question
1.10 newtons second law of motion hook question: 1. which was easier to push: the empty cart or the full cart? why do you think so? answer: the empty cart was easier to push because it has less mass. according to newtons second law (f = ma), less force is needed to accelerate an object with less mass. 2. state newtons second law of motion. answer:
Newton's second law states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) times acceleration (a), or F = ma. The empty cart has less mass, so less force is needed to accelerate it, making it easier to push compared to the full cart.

- The empty cart was easier to push because it has less mass. According to Newton's second law (F = ma), less force is needed to accelerate an object with less mass.
- Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net - force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Mathematically, F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object.
