Acceleration of stalled vehicle
SOLUTION 9
Two people pushing a stalled car. The mass of the car is
in kilogram, kg. One person applies a force of
in newton, N to the car, while the other applies a force of
N. Both forces act in the same direction. A third force of
N also acts on the car, but in a direction opposite to that in which the two people are pushing. This third force is due to the road frictional force.
Find the acceleration in meter/sec2 of the car.
