Answer:
A Truck is Pulling a Trailer down a Highway . The Total Mass of the Trailer is 360kg and the Force at which the Truck is pulling is 7200 Newton . What is the Acceleration of the Truck ?
Answer :-
Acceleration of the Truck is 20 m/s² .
Explanation :-
As per the provided information in the given question, we have been given that the Mass of the trailer is 360 kg . Force is given as 7200 Newton . And, we have beena asked to calculate the Acceleration of the Truck .
For calculating the Acceleration , we will use the Formula :-
\bigstar \: \: \: \boxed {\sf{ \: Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac {Force}{Mass} \: }}★
Acceleration=
Mass
Force
Therefore , by Substituting the given values in the above Formula :-
\dag \: \: \: \sf {Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac {Force}{Mass}}†Acceleration=
Mass
Force
\longmapsto \: \: \: \sf {Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac {7200}{360}}⟼Acceleration=
360
7200
\longmapsto \: \: \: \textbf {\textsf {Acceleration \: = \: 20 }}⟼Acceleration = 20
Hence :-
Acceleration = 20 m/s² .
