**Physics Problem: Forces on a Car**

Two forces are applied to a car in an effort to move it, as shown in the following figure, where \( F_1 = 409 \, \text{N} \) and \( F_2 = 394 \, \text{N} \). (Assume up and to the right as positive directions.)

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram shows a car with two forces applied at an angle to each other. \( F_1 \) acts at an angle of \( 10^\circ \) to the forward direction of the car while \( F_2 \) is applied at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) to the right of the forward direction.

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

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