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 = 427 N and F2 = 380 N 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) ∘

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

F_{1} = 427 N

and

F_{2} = 380 N

and friction is negligible. In the diagram below, the mass of the car

= 3500 k g, θ_{1} = - 25^{\circ}

and

θ_{2} = 12^{\circ}

. (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 / s^{2}

) of the car? magnitude

◻

m / s^{2}

direction (counterclockwise from the

+ x

-axis)

◻

\circ
