Question

Consider a large truck and a small car driving up a straight, steep hill. The truck is moving at 60 miles per hour and the car at 30 miles per hour. Assuming that the speeds are constant, which of the two vehicles experiences a larger net force?

Answer 1

Both the small car and the truck experience the same net force.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Net force can be defined as the vector addition of all the forces that follow up on a particle or a body.
• It is a single force that changes the effect of the initial force on a particles motion.
• If in case the net force acting on a particular body is zero then it means that the object or the body is not moving or accelerating at all and is in a state of stability.
