Question 2 (10 points)

Answer 1

The force required to slow the truck was -5020 N

Explanation:

First of all, we find the acceleration of the truck, which is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the truck in this problem,

v = 11.5 m/s

u = 21.9 m/s

t = 2.88 s

So the acceleration is

$a=\frac{11.5-21.9}{2.88}=-3.6 m/s^2$

where the negative sign means that this is a deceleration.

Now we can find the force exerted on the truck, which is given by Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

m = 1390 kg is the mass of the truck

$a=-3.6 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

And substituting,

$F=(1390)(-3.6)=-5004 N$

So the closest answer among the option is -5020 N.
