A 2-kg can containing 8 kg of water is initially stationary I Fig. a i. The center of mass of the "object" consisting of the cart and water is at x = 0. The cart is subjected to the time-dependent force shown in Fig. b. where F = 5N and tn = 2 s. Assume that no water spills out of the cart and that the horizontal forces exerted on the wheels by the floor are negligible.
(a) Do you know the acceleration of the cart during the period
