Question

A truck has a mass of 1.5 x 104 kg. If the truck can reach a maximum acceleration of 1.5 m/s2, what is the net force the truck exerts?

2.25 x 105 N
2.25 x 104 N
2.3 x 104 N
2.3 x 105 N

Answer 1

2.25 × 10⁴ N

Step-by-step explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1.5 × 10⁴ × 1.5

We have the final answer as

2.25 × 10⁴ N

Hope this helps you
