Question

What is the rate of acceleration of a 2,000-kilogram truck if a force of 4.200 Nis

make it start moving forward?

Answer 1

Rate of acceleration of a truck is 2.1
`m/s^(2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

• The given parameters in the problem are the weight of the truck, m = 2000 kg and the force acting on the truck is given as F = 4200 N
• Now, to find the rate of acceleration of the truck we can use the formula F = ma, where m is the mass of the object, a is the acceleration and F is the force applied
• So, to get acceleration out of this equation we have to divide mass with force.
  `a =(F)/(m)` =
  `(4200)/(2000) = 2.1 m/s^(2)` Hence the answer.
