friction force of 35 N acting on the cart, how hard does Oaklan push?

Lennon pushes a 65 N lawnmower across the yard. What is the acceleration of the
lawnmower if he pushes with a force of 55 N and the grass exerts a friction force of 15
N.
(5 points) An 226-Newton object moves with a rightward force that is applied to the
object. The net force amounts to 98 N and the object faces a friction force of 37 N.

Calculate the acceleration:


Calculate the force applied:

Make sure to fill in the entire chart to


the right.

Bonus (1 pt) A sports car accelerates from 0 to 36 m/s in 6.0 seconds. The car weighs
14700 N. If there is a friction force of 370 N on the car, what is the forward force that
gives it acceleration?
A.​ Calculate the car’s acceleration.
B.​ Calculate the forward moving force.
