Most directly on equador and least directly at poluses
Newton's 2nd law of motion: Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by (mass) : Acceleration = (force) / (mass)
Acceleration of the truck = (4,200 N) / (2,000 kg) = 2.1 m/s²
To calculate the acceleration of the wooden block, we use the expression F=ma where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:
F = ma
4.9 = 0.5a
a = 9.8
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
