    The document contains 3 physics problems involving forces and motion: 1) Two people push a disabled car with forces of 200N and 150N east, so the net force is 350N east. 2) An airplane flies north at 100 m/s with a 30 m/s crosswind from east to west, so the resultant velocity is northwest at approximately 114 m/s. 3) A student drives 6 km north, 6 km east, then 2 km north, so the overall displacement is the hypotenuse of a 6-6-2 right triangle, which is approximately 8 km.

    PROBLEM SOLVING:

    1. Two people are pushing a disabled car. One exerts a force of 200 N east, the other a
    force of 150 N east. What is the net force exerted on the car? (Assume friction to be
    negligible.)

    2. An airplane heads due north at 100 m/s through a 30 m/s cross wind blowing from the
    east to the west. Determine the resultant velocity of the airplane (relative to due north).

    3. A student drives his car 6.0 km, North before making a right hand turn and driving 6.0
    km to the East. Finally, the student makes a left hand turn and travels another 2.0 km to
    the north. What is the magnitude of the overall displacement of the student?
