Question

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

Answer 1

Acceleration is 5ms⁻²

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

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is 5 m/$s^{2}$.

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= $\frac{7500}{1500}$

                              or, a=  5 m/$s^{2}$

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