Rate of acceleration of a truck is 2.1 [tex]m/s^{2}[/tex]
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.[tex]a =\frac{F}{m}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{4200}{2000} = 2.1 m/s^{2}[/tex] Hence the answer.
