A student pushes a shopping cart filled with groceries. The cart has a mass of 12 kilograms (kg). The student pushes
the cart with a force of 15 newtons (N). Assuming the
ground is frictionless, how fast will the cart accelerate until
the student stops applying the force?

Certain bacteria (such as aquaspirillum magnetotacticum) tend to swim toward the earth’s geographic north pole because they contain tiny particles, called magnetosomes, that are sensitive to a magnetic field. if a transmission line carrying 100 a is laid underwater, at what range of distances would the magnetic field from this line be great enough to interfere with the migration of these bacteria? (assume that a field less than 5% of the earth’s field would have little effect on the bacteria. take the earth’s field to be 5.0 * 10-5 t, and ignore the effects of the seawater.)
