Question
Two forces are applied to a car in an effort to move it, as shown in the figure below. (Let \( F_1 = 435 \, \text{N} \) and \( F_2 = 368 \, \text{N} \). Assume up and to the right are in the positive directions.)

[The image shows a car with two forces applied at angles. \( F_1 \) is applied at an angle of \( 10^\circ \) to the left of vertical and \( F_2 \) at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) to the right of vertical.]

(a) What is the resultant vector of these two forces?
- Magnitude: \(\_\_\_\_\) N
- Direction: \(\_\_\_\_\)° to the right of the forward direction

(b) If the car has a mass of \( 3{,}000 \, \text{kg} \), what acceleration does it have? Ignore friction.
- \(\_\_\_\_\) m/s\(^2\)
