Question

An unloaded truck weighing 2000 kg has a maximum acceleration of 0.4 meter per second square. What is the maximum acceleration when it carries a load of 2000 kg. ?

Answer 1

Answer: An unloaded truck weighing 2000kg has a maximum acceleration of 0.4 m//s^(2). What is the maximum acceleration, when it carries a load of 2000kg? For a loaded truck, mass becomes twice. Therefore, maximum acceleration becomes half, i.e., 0.2m/s2.
