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
