100kg

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass times velocity:

p=mv

The total momentum M must be equal to the sum of momentums of the system components, in this case the momentum of the lady plus the momentum of the cart:

$M=m_{woman}v_{woman}+m_{cart}v_{cart}$

since both the woman and the shopping cart have the same velocity:

$v_{woman}=v_{cart}=v$

the equation becomes:

$M=m_{woman}v+m_{cart}v\\M=v(m_{woman}+m_{cart})$

and since we need the mass of the cart we solve for m{cart} :

$m_{woman}+m_{cart}=\frac{M}{v} \\\\m_{cart}=\frac{M}{v} -m_{woman}$

the values given by the problem are the following:

total momentum: M=450kgm/s

mass of the woman: $m_{woman}=50kg$

velocity: v=3m/s

we substitute all of them in the equation to find the mass of the shopping cart:

$m_{cart}=\frac{450kgm/s}{3m/s} -50kg\\\\m_{cart}=150kg-50kg\\\\m_{cart}=100kg$

the mass of the cart is 100kg.

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
