(And don't forget that an object going around a curve at a constant speed is also accelerating.)
I believe there are two reasons:
1). The term is inadequately taught in the American public school system ... along with much of the rest of Science and Math in general.
2). The word became permanently and indelibly corrupted when the automotive industry decided to name the gas pedal the "accelerator".
The farthest major planet from the sun is Neptune
Acceleration of car is 4m/s²
Acceleration of truck is 2m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Force on the car and truck = 12000N
Mass of car = 3000kg
Mass of truck = 6000kg
Unknown:
Acceleration of car = ?
Acceleration of truck = ?
Solution:
Force is product of mass and acceleration. It is a push or a pull exerted on a body.
Force = mass x acceleration
Make acceleration the subject of the formula;
Acceleration = 
Acceleration of car =
= 4m/s²
Acceleration of truck =
= 2m/s²
