Question

Question 15
A truck of mass Mis moved under a force F. If the truck is then loaded with an object equal to the mass of the truck and the driving force is halved then how does the acceleration change?

Open in App

Solution

Calculate using F = ma
As the Force is halved and the mass gets doubled, acceleration becomes one-fourth of the original.
