    There are two possibilities for this question:

    1 - The shopping cart is at rest (not moving):

    In this case:

    ∑Forces = 0

    Force exerted by Jim + Force exerted by cart = 0

    2 + Force exerted by cart = 0

    Force exerted by cart = - 2

    2 - The cart is moving as a result of a net force "m":

    In this case:

    ∑Forces = m

    Force exerted by Jim + Force exerted by cart = m

    Force exerted by cart = m-2
