    Would like to double check my work. Mostly F=ma if I'm right.

    Thanks. I'm also trying to work out C3 and C4. I already turned in my homework earlier this morning, but I am going to try to remember how I changed it. I remember things were different between each car; I believe I got -4000N from truck 6 to 7 and 4000N from 9 to 8. Something like that. I'm...

    Homework Statement A) A car of mass 1000 kg is acted on by a net force of 2500 N. What is the resulting acceleration? B) A car of mass 1000 kg pulls a caravan of mass 800 kg; the driving wheels of the car exert a force of 8000 N on the road. The total resistance to motion is 3000 N. B1) What...
