Math Problem Statement
A tricycle with a combined mass(including the driver and passengers) of 250 kg is driving along a provincial road in batangas. The driver applies a forward force of 500 N, but the road friction and air resistance exert a total opposing force of 300N . Calculate the net force acting on the tricycle and determine its acceleration.
