On vacation, your 1400 kg car pulls a 560 kg trailer away from a stoplight with an acceleration of 2.20. What is the net force exerted by the car on the trailer?What force does the trailer exert on the car? What is the net force acting on the car?

To find the net force exerted by the car on the trailer, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force (F_net) acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a).
1. First, let's find the net force exerted by the car on the trailer:
F_net = m * a
F_net = 560 kg * 2.20 m/s^2
F_net = 1232 N
So, the net force exerted by the car on the trailer is 1232 Newtons.
2. The force that the trailer exerts on the car would be an equal and opposite force known as the reaction force (according to Newton's third law of motion). So, it would also be 1232 Newtons in this case.
3. The net force acting on the car can be found by considering both the force exerted by the car on the trailer and the force exerted by the trailer on the car. Since these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they cancel each other out.
Therefore, the net force acting on the car is zero Newtons.
Apply Newton's second law, F = M a, to the trailer to get the towing force on the trailer. In this case, M will be the mass of the trailer.
The same force will be applied to the car by the trailer.
Since you know the car is accelerating at the same rate, use F = Ma for the net force on the car. In this case, M is the mass of the car.
I am not going to answer any more of your questions unless you show some work of your own. Perhaps someone else will help; perhaps not.
