Question

What net force is required to accelerate a truck at a rate of 4 m/s² if the truck has a mass of 5,000 kg?

Answer 1

20000N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration = 4m/s²

Mass of truck = 5000kg

Unknown:

Net force require to accelerate the truck = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

Force = mass x acceleration

So;

Force = 5000 x 4 = 20000N
