Question

An empty truck with a mass of 2500 kg has an engine that will accelerate at a rate of 1.5 m/s². What will be the acceleration when the truck has an additional load of 1500 kg? (in m/s²)

___

Open in App

Solution

Initial mass = 2500 Kg

Initial acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Net force = 3750 N

Final mass = 4000 Kg

Since the force remains the same, the final acceleration = F/m = 3750/4000 = 0.9375 m/s²
