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?
