Two forces are applied to a car in an effort to move it, as shown in the following figure, where F1 = 407 N and F2 = 395 N. (Assume up and to the right as positive directions.) http://www.webassign.net/sercp9/4-p-012-alt.gif
a) What is the resultant of these two forces?
magnitude in newtons and direction in degrees to the right of the forward direction.
b)If the car has a mass of 3,000 kg, what acceleration does it have? Ignore friction. in meters per second

|dw:1392004221860:dw| Can you resolve those forces into their components?

anonymous · Answer

im not really sure on how to i tried a few ways and got the wrong answer both times

isaiah.feynman · Answer

I resolve those forces|dw:1392004514327:dw| into their x and y components..
