Question

Maggie's truck decelerates from 18. 00 m/s to rest in 3. 30 s. If the Maggie's mass is 100. 0 kg and the truck is 1810 kg, calculate the magnitude of the net (unbalanced) force that can cause the acceleration

Answer 1

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration magnitude = change in velocity / change in time

a = 18 m/s / 3.3 s = 5.45 m/s^2

F = m * a

= (1810 + 100) kg * 5.45 m/s^2 = 10 418 N or 10.42 kN
