To find the mass of the cart, we first need to determine its acceleration using the formula:

Where:

is the change in velocity (final velocity - initial velocity),

is the change in time.

Given that the cart starts from rest (initial velocity = 0 m/s) and reaches a speed of 40 m/s in 8 seconds:

Now we can use Newton's Second Law to find the mass:
