Question

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

Answer 1

Dear Student

$$\begin{gathered} Force=mass\times acceleration=Ma \\ Thanmass=M+M=2M \\ F\text{'}=F/2 \\ a\text{'}=\frac{F}{2\times 2M}=F/4M=1/4a \\ REGARDS \end{gathered}$$
