Well, I apologize for rushing the post and not using the template as I did not know it was required. I must say, this homework problem now has been very unsettling, especially now knowing that I am required to use some sort of technology to solve and I still don't know how to go about using...

Would someone mind please showing me the steps on how to solve for T? I have tried for a while now and this is becoming really tedious and confusing and I am getting lost in my steps and getting it completely wrong. I gave up on the homework question and requested the solution to see how it...

Awesome, now I understand it all. Thanks so much for your help! By the way, I put in 1000 for the solution and it accepted it, even though it was asking for 2 sig figs.

I believe the question is looking for the amount of force that is exerted onto the trailer by the car. It wants the answer in 2 significant digits, and with my experience thus far, I don't imagine an answer would be 1.0E3(N)

This was copied directly from masteringphysics so I really can't answer that question...I just attempted to solve it as best I could, but my answer is not what it is looking for. That would change the answer significantly. The new F would be 3458.55(N) acceleration would change to...

Homework Statement A 1480(k)g car pulls a 300(k)g trailer. The car exerts a horizontal force of 3900(N) against the ground in order to accelerate. What force does the car exert on the trailer? Assume an effective friction coefficient of 0.15 for the trailer. Homework Equations My question...
