It's Friday night and Skyler has been assigned the noble task of baby-sitting Casey, his 2-year old brother. He puts a crash helmet on Casey, places him in a red wagon and takes him on a stroll through the neighborhood. As Skyler starts across the street, he exerts a 65.6 N forward force on the wagon. There is a 21.6 N resistance force and the wagon and Casey have a combined mass of 28.6 kg. Construct a free body diagram depicting the types of forces acting upon the wagon (upload this as part of your work to be graded). Then determine the acceleration (in m/s2) of the wagon.
