Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 81.5 N, Jill pulls with 84.9 N in a direction 45° to the left, and Jane pulls in a direction 45° to the right with 153 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. magnitude of the net force: N What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from straight ahead between 0° and 90°, with a positive sign for angles to the left and a negative sign for angles to the right. direction of the net force:

An SUV containing 5 passengers has a mass of 3500 kg. It has a driving force of 2500 N directed west on a perfectly horizontal road. The surface of the road exerts a resistive force of 500 N due east. At the same time, a strong wind is blowing a force of 500 N due east in the opposite direction of the car's drive force. Does the car have any acceleration? If yes, then what is the magnitude and direction of the car's acceleration?
A 60 kg block slides along the top of a 100 kg block. The lighter block has an acceleration of 3.8 m/s2 when a horizontal force F= 390 N is applied. Assuming there is no friction between the bottom 100 kg block and the horizontal frictionless surface but there is friction between the blocks. Find the acceleration of the 100 kg block during the time the 60 kg block remains in contact.
