Homework - 10/18/10

Three bears each push on a crate full of kittens with 100 N. Kitten lover and long-time bear hater, Mr. Aul steps in to the rescue. Mr. Aul pushes back with 500 N. The crate’s mass is 25 kg. What is the magnitude and direction of the crate's acceleration?

Remember: For full credit, you need to fill the entire page. You must include the free body diagram, show all of your work, and explain if your answer seems reasonable or not. You can explain if the value for acceleration seems reasonable or too high/low. Also, does the direction of the acceleration make sense?
