The magnitude and direction of the cart's acceleration are 1.44 m/s² North.

To solve the given problem, we make use of newton's fundamental equation.

⇒ Newton's equation:

F = ma...................... Equation

⇒ Where:

  • F = Net force on the golf cart
  • m = mass of the cart
  • a = acceleration of the cart.

⇒ make "a" the subject of the equation

  •    a = F/m............... Equation 2

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • F = 390 N
  • m = 270 kg

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • a = 390/270
  • a = 1.44 m/s² alone the direction of the force (North)

Hence, the magnitude and direction of the cart's acceleration are 1.44 m/s² North.
