Question

Three forces acting on an object are given by 

F1 = (−2.1î + 5.55ĵ) N,
F2 = (5.30î − 1.6ĵ) N,
and 
F3 = (−47.5î) N.

 The object experiences an acceleration of magnitude 3.85 m/s2.

 

(a) What is the direction of the acceleration?

(b) What is the mass of the object?

(c) If the object is initially at rest, what is its speed after 14.0 s?
