Answer:

Force = mass x acceleration

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Newton's second law, the net force acting on the object is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body.

So, Force is given by

F = m a

where, F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

when the mass is more, the acceleration is less as the force applied by the truck is same.
