What are the magnitudes of the x- and y-components of the tension?What is the acceleration of a skateboarder of mass 46 kg who is being pushed forward with a force of 120 N?

Use Newton’s second law of motion to solve the following problems.
a. A car accelerates forward at 3.5 m/s2. If the car has a mass of 873 kg, what is the force applied to the car?
b. Ron bicycles forward with an acceleration of 2.1 m/s2. If he is applying a forward force of 195 N, what is his mass?
c. What is the acceleration of a skateboarder of mass 46 kg who is being pushed forward with a force of 120 N?
