Question

A garbage truck has a mass of 2100kg it starts from rest and travels 75m in 15 seconds the truck uniformly accelerates the entire time. what net force is applied to the truck? total d=75 total t=15 m=2100kg a=5 fn=?

Answer 1

F=ma 

Velocity is Distance over time so Vf = 75/15 = 5m/s

Find acceleration V=Vo+at. plugging in the values you know, you get
0.33m/s^2

F=(2100)(0.33)=693N
