A young woman buys an inexpensive used car for stock car racing. It can attain highway speed with an acceleration of 8.40 mi/h s. By making changes to its engine, she can increase the net horizontal force on the car by 24.0%. With much less expense, she can remove material from the body of the car to decrease its mass by 24.0%. (a) Which of these two changes, if either, will result in the greater increase in the cars acceleration? (b) If she makes both changes, what acceleration can she attain?
Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon.
