Answer:

1.1 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

F -mgμ = ma.................... Equation 1

Where F = applied force, m = mass of the apple cart, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction., a = acceleration of the apple cart.

Given: F = 115 N, m = 25 kg, μ = 0.35

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

115-(25×10×0.35) = 25×a

115-87.5 = 25a

25a = 27.5

a = 27.5/25

a = 1.1 m/s²
