The diagram shows a luggage cart being pushed by one person. Just a few minutes ago, he had someone else helping him push the cart. The two of them pushed with a force of 35 N, which caused the cart to move at a constant speed of 5 m/s. What is likely to happen now that the person is pushing the cart himself?

• The speed of the cart will decrease.

• The speed of the cart will not change.

• The cart will come to a complete stop.

• The speed of the cart will decrease to 4 m/s.
