Question

3. What would be the mass of a truck if it is accelerating at a rate of 5 m/s and hits a parked car with a

force of 14,000 N?
I

Answer 1

m = 2800 N

Step-by-step explanation:

14000 = (m)* 5

m = 14000/5

F= 14,000 N

a= 5 m/s^2

Answer 2

We are given both the Force applied by the truck and the acceleration of the truck:

Force applied (F) = 14,000 N

Acceleration (a)= 5 m/s²

Solving for the mass of the truck:

From Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma (where F is the force applied , m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object)

replacing the variables:

14000 = (m)* 5

m = 14000/5

m = 2800

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 2800 kg
