Consider the 65.0-kg ice skater being pushed by two others shown below. (a) Find the direction and magnitude of Ftot . the total force exerted on her by the others, given that the magnitudes F1and F2are 26.4 N and 18.6 N, respectively. (b) What is her initial acceleration if she is initially stationary and wearing steel-bladed skates that point in the direction of Ftot ? (c) What is her acceleration assuming she is already moving in the direction of Ftot ? (Remember that friction always acts in the direction opposite that of motion or attempted motion between surfaces in contact)

Review. A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest at h = 0.500 m above the surface of a table, at the top of a = 30.0 incline as shown in Figure P5.101.
