Question

Tom enlists the help of his friend John to move his car. They apply forces to the car as shown in the diagram. Here 

F1 = 445N

 and 

F2 = 331N

 and friction is negligible. In the diagram below, the mass of the car = 3500 kg, θ1 = −25° and θ2 = 12°. (Assume the car faces the positive x-axis before the forces are applied.)

 

(a) Find the resultant force (in N) exerted on the car.

-magnitude:                     N

- direction: (counterclockwise from the +x-axis) °

 

(b) What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of the car?

- magnitude:                 m/s2

- direction: (counterclockwise from the +x-axis)
