Question

• Moe, lary and curly push on a 752Kg boat that floats
next to dock. They each exert an 80.5N force parallel to
the dock
• (a)What is the acceleration of the boat if they all push in
same direction?Give both direction and magnitude
• (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the boats
acceleration if larry and curly push in the opposite
direction to Moe,s push?

Answers

when they push in the same direction, just add up all the forces to get F
Otherwise, subtract those forces pushing backwards.
Now recall that F = ma
