An unloaded truck weighing 2000kg has a maximum acceleration of 0.5m/s^2. What is the maximum acceleration when it is carrying a load of 2000 kg?

F = M (A)
Mass of unloaded truck = 2000kg
Max.accelaration = 0.5 m/s^2
max. force applied by truck = 2000(0.5)N =1000N
Max. force that can be applied by truck is 1000N in any case.
when 2000kg load is carried by the truck its mass is 2000 + 2000 kg =4000kg
F = M (A)
A = F/M
A = 1000/4000
A = 1/4 m/s^2
A = 0.25 m/s^2
