At a circus, a donkey pulls on a sled carrying a small clown with a force given by 2.48i ^ + 4.33j ^ N . A horse pulls on the same sled, aiding the hapless donkey, with a force of 6.56i ^ + 5.33j ^ N . The mass of the sled is 575 kg. Using i ^ and j ^ form for the answer to each problem, find (a) the net force on the sled when the two animals act together, (b) the acceleration of the sled, and (c) the velocity after 6.50 s.

Hi, I have to on a graph vectors that illustrate this problem. Suppose you have to move a heavy crate of weight 875 N by sliding it along a horizontal concrete floor. You push the crate to the right with a horizontal force of magnitude 300 N, but friction prevents the crate from sliding. I have tried to have the forces in the right direction. Normal force is vertically up, weight is down, friction force is in the opposite direction to force. But I'm still not getting the graph right. Not sure if the lengths of the forces have something to do with it.
