A camper van with a mass of 2500 kg has a maximum driving force of 2650 N. The air resistance is 2000 N and the friction between the wheel bearings is 500 N. What is the resultant force acting on the camper van?

General pointers, because we can't give out answers:

•

If it mentions mass in a mechanics question, I think of F=ma (or at least keep it handy)

•

Resultant force is the driving force (or the direction of the driving force) with all other forces (or forces in the opposite direction) deducted from it.
