Monkey D. Luffy is sailing together with his crew, the “Straw Hat Pirates” in the West Philippine Sea. The wind is quite strong and is exerting a 420N force on their sailboat “Thousand Sunny” directed to the south. The waves are also exerting a force of 200N westward. If Thousand Sunny has a mass of 305 kg (including the crew and their luggages), what is the magnitude and direction of its acceleration?

Two constant forces of magnitudes F1 and F2, act on a particle of mass 5.00 [kg] which is at rest at the origin. The force F1 points at 14.5° west of north, while the force F2, points at 58.3° west of south. Due to the two forces, the particle accelerates and is later located at 32.4 [m], 17.0° north of west with speed 12.2 [m/s]. What is F1?
In a soccer match against Mexico in 2014, US Women’s National Team striker Alex Morgan scored a sweetheaded goal in the 79th minute of the game. Just as the ball left her head, the horizontal component of its acceleration was 225 m/s , and the vertical component of its acceleration was -200 m/s (assuming thepositive direction points up). If the ball has a mass of 425 g, what was the magnitude and direction of theforce she applied to the ball? Note- you can ignore the weight of the ball.
