Question
A truck on a flat road accelerates from rest at a constant rate and covers a distance of 100 m in 6 s.
The mass of the truck is 1000 kg.
a) What is the acceleration of the truck? m/s2
b) What is the net force on the truck? N
The truck is now loaded with heavy equipment and has a NEW total mass of 1400 kg.
If the same net force is applied to the car as calculated above, then what would be the new acceleration of the truck? m/s2
c) With this new acceleration, how much time would it take the (heavier) truck to travel 100 m starting from rest? s
d) What would be the speed of the (heavier) truck when it reaches this point? m/s
