Question

What is the acceleration of a 1500 kg truck with a net force of 7500 N

Answer 1

Acceleration is 5ms⁻²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Mass = 1500kg

Force = 7500N

Acceleration = ?

We know,

Force = mass X acceleration

7500N = 1500kg X a

a = 7500/ 1500 ms⁻²

a = 5ms⁻²

Therefore, acceleration is 5ms⁻²

Answer 2

The acceleration of the object is 5 m/
`s^(2)`.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Newton's second law we can add an equation as:

F= ma.........................................1

where, f= force

m= mass of object

a= acceleration of object

We are given net force as 7500 N, mass as 1500 kg so insert the value in equation 1, we get

7500 N = 1500 × a

or, a=
`(7500)/(1500)`

or, a= 5 m/
`s^(2)`

Hence the acceleration of the truck is 5 meter per second square.
