What is the rate of acceleration of a 2,000-kilogram truck if a force of 4.200 Nis
make it start moving forward?

Respuesta :

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.
