In which direction does centripetal force act on an object

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

Rank the automobiles based on the magnitude of the force needed to stop them, from largest to smallest.2000 kg car going 5m/s500 kg car going 20 m/s1000 kg car going20m/s500 kg car going10m/s1000 kg car going10/s4000 kg car going 5m/s 0 0 603
