What net force is required to accelerate a truck at a rate of 4 m/s² if the truck has a mass of 5,000 kg?

Respuesta :

Answer:

20000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration  = 4m/s²

Mass of truck  = 5000kg

Unknown:

Net force require to accelerate the truck  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

     Force  = mass x acceleration

So;

  Force  = 5000 x 4  = 20000N
