Question

what is the mass of a truck if it produces a force of 15000 n while accelerating at a rate 6m/s2

Answer 1

Answer:

2500 kg

Explanation:

Given:

• Force produced by the truck = F = 15,000 Newtons
• Acceleration of the truck = a = 6 m/s²

To find:

• Mass of the truck if force is 15000 newtons and acceleration is 6 m/s²

Formula:

• Force = Mass×Acceleration

Substituting the above values:

15000N = Mass×6

Mass = 15,000/6

Mass = 2500 kg

The mass of the truck is equal to 2500 kg's if the force produced is 15,000 Newtons and acceleration is 6 m/s²

Answer 2

Given ,

Force (f) = 15000 N

Acceleration (a) = 6 m/s²

We know that ,

The force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration

$\boxed{ \sf{Force \: (f) = ma}}$

Thus ,

15000 = m × 6

m = 15000/6

m = 2500 kg

$\therefore$The mass of the truck is 2500 kg
