Answer:
Truck [tex]\dfrac{g}{10}[/tex]
Road [tex]-\dfrac{g}{10}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]a_1[/tex] = Acceleration of truck = [tex]-\dfrac{g}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\mu[/tex] = Coefficient of friction = [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]
Frictional force is given by
[tex]f=-\mu mg\\\Rightarrow f=-\dfrac{2}{5}mg\\\Rightarrow ma_2=-\dfrac{2}{5}mg\\\Rightarrow a_2=-\dfrac{2}{5}g[/tex]
Net acceleration is given by
[tex]a=a_2-a_1\\\Rightarrow a=-\dfrac{2}{5}g+\dfrac{g}{2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{g}{10}[/tex]
The acceleration of the box relative to the truck is [tex]\dfrac{g}{10}[/tex] and [tex]-\dfrac{g}{10}[/tex] relative to the road.
