A wooden cart with frictionless wheels on level ground is given a push of 45.0 N. What must be the mass of the cart if it accelerates at 0.500 m/s/s? I know I need to use F=MA, but I was wondering if 45.0 N is the net force. If it's not, how would I find the net force?

Yes, 45.0 N is the net force since they have said the situation is frictionless. Use F = M A
