Dave and Alex push on opposite ends of a car that has a mass of 875 kg. Dave pushes the car to the right with a force of 250 N, and Alex pushes to the left with a force of 315 N. What is the acceleration of the car in the x-direction? Assume there is no friction

The particle p starts from rest at point a at time t = 0 and changes its speed thereafter at a constant rate of 2.8g as it follows the horizontal path shown. determine the magnitude and direction of its total acceleration (a) just before point b, (b) just after point b, and (c) as it passes point c. state your directions relative to the x-axis shown (ccw positive) and choose the angle with the smallest magnitude.
