A 1,075-kg car is pulling a 320-kg trailer. Together, the car and trailer have an acceleration of 2.10 m/s2 in the positive x-direction. Neglecting frictional forces on the trailer, determine the following. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume forward motion is along the positive x-axis and upwards is along the positive y-axis. Assume the trailer's weight is entirely supported by it's own tires.) Continue Cancel (a) the net force on the car (in the x-direction) 2260 N (b) the net force on the trailer (in the x-direction) 672 N (c) the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the trailer on the car magnitude 672 N direction rearward (d) the resultant force exerted by the car on the road magnitude 10774 ✔ N X 77.9 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error.° (below the horizontal and rearward) direction
