Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 83.1 N, Jill pulls with 73.7 N in a direction 45° to the left, and Jane pulls in a direction 45° to the right with 117 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.

Blocks are pulled with a 20.0 N force making a=30.0 degree angle withhorizontal on a frictionless surface. first question: Show all the forces on the two blocks by drawing a seperate diagram for each block. second question: apply the newton rules and find the tension (T=?) in the rope in between the two blocks.
ANSWER ONLY A AND C
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?
You have to push a cart (which has a mass of 11 kg) to the top of a hill, which has a steady incline of 33° above the horizontal. You apply a force of 95 N (walking up the hill and pushing in a direction parallel to the incline) and push the cart at constant speed. a) What is the normal force acting on cart while it is being pushed up the hill? b) What is the force of kinetic friction acting on the case of popcorn while it is being pushed up the hill? c) What is the net force acting on the case of popcom while it is being pushed up the hill?
Two forces are acting on a 0.150 kg hockey puck as it slides along the ice. The first force has a magnitude of 0.320 N and points 35.0° north of east. The second force has a magnitude of 0.520 N and points 65.0° north of east. If these are the only two forces acting on the puck, what will be the magnitude and direction of the puck's acceleration? Enter the direction as an angle measured in degrees counterclockwise from due east. magnitude of acceleration: m/s2 direction of acceleration: °
