A force of 500 N is needed to accelerate an empty truck to 10m/s^2. What is the MASS of the truck?

Answer :

Answer:

50kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 500N

Acceleration of the truck  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Mass of the truck  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion:

            Force  = mass x acceleration

               Mass = [tex]\frac{500}{10}[/tex]   = 50kg
