A 1,500-kg truck has a net force of 4,200 N acting on it. What is the truck’s acceleration?

Respuesta :

Lanuel

Answer:

Acceleration = 2.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 1500 kg

Net force = 4200 Newton

To find the truck's acceleration;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

[tex] Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass} [/tex]

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] Acceleration = \frac {4200}{1500} [/tex]

Acceleration = 2.8 m/s²
