The time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.
The given parameters;
- <em>applied force, F = 600 N</em>
- <em>mass of the truck, m = 1,500 kg</em>
- <em>speed of the truck, v = 2 m/s</em>
The force applied to the truck is determined by Newton's second law of motion; <em>which states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.</em>
F = ma
Thus, the time the truck must apply the given force to increase its speed to given value is 5 s.
