Question

What is a truck's acceleration if the net external force on the truck is 560 N and it has a total of mass of 1000 kg?

Answer 1

0.56m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The above is the correct answer.

Force = mass x acceleration = mg

⇒ F = mg

where F = 560 N, m = 1000kg

∴ g = F/m = 560/1000 = 0.56

∴ acceleration, g = 0.56m/s² (answer)

Force is known to be a push or a pull which actually puts a body to motion or brings a body to rest. It has to do with the interaction between bodies.
