To solve this problem we will apply the definition of Newton's second law, which says that force is equivalent to body mass by acceleration. In this case the mass of the trailer is 325Kg and its acceleration is
, so we will proceed to replace and multiply these values to find the net force on this object.


F= 698.75N
Under the reference system in which the direction of travel is the positive direction, the direction of the force will be positive.
It is 3.2 because you add 2.3 and 4.1 then divide your answer by 2.
Can something have energy even if it's not moving?
All moving objects have kinetic energy. When an object is in motion, it changes its position by moving in a direction: up, down, forward, or backward. ... Potential energy is stored energy. Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion).
Does a book at rest have energy?
A World Civilization book at rest on the top shelf of a locker possesses mechanical energy due to its vertical position above the ground (gravitational potential energy).
Does a book lying on a table have energy?
The book lying on a desk has potential energy; the book falling off a desk has kinetic energy.
