According to the data table, how much force is acting on the cart when the students measure an acceleration of 2.6 m/s²? (*Hint: the cart is the same cart for each trial). Use the Desmos Calculator
HINT: Refer to your STAAR Reference Sheet.

I don’t have the data table or the cart’s mass, so I can’t give the numeric answer yet. Please either paste the table here or give the cart’s mass.
How to get the answer yourself (quick steps):
1. From the table, make a list of acceleration (a) and net force (F) pairs. Because the cart is the same each trial, F = m·a and the slope of F vs a is the mass m.
2. In Desmos enter your data points as (a,F).
3. Fit a line with y1 ~ m x1 — Desmos will return m (the mass in kg).
4. Calculate F = m × 2.6. Round to a whole number (no decimals or symbols) — that is the answer in newtons (N).
If you post the table or the mass I’ll compute the whole-number answer for you.
