    Frictional force always opposes applied force, so the net force on the cart would have to be 19N - 1.7N. The acceleration can then be solved by using the relation: F = ma. This is shown below:

    Net force = 19 - 1.7 = 17.3 N

    Acceleration = Force / mass

    Acceleration = 17.3 / 2

    Acceleration = 8.65 N/m
