What force is needed to accelerate a truck with mass 3,000 kg at a rate of 2.0

m/s22

O

A. 1500 N

O B. 6000 N

O C. 12,000 N

O D. 3000 N

The answer to your question is F = 6000 N

Explanation:

This is a problem of Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force is directly proportional to the mass of an object times its acceleration.

Data

Force = F = ? N

Mass = m = 3000 kg

Acceleration = a = 2.0 m/s²

Formula

F = ma

Substitution

F = (3000) x (2)

Result

F = 6000 N
