A truck starts from rest and rolls down a hill with constant accelaration.it travels a distance of 400m in 20sec. what is its accelaration.

Find the force acting on it if its mass is 7 metric tonne

Hello,
 
The truck starts from rest and travels 400 m in 20 s. Let a be the acceleration of the truck.
Using the equation,

The acceleration of the truck is 2 ms-2.
 
Mass of the truck is, m = 7 metric tonne = 7000 Kg
We know, F = ma = 7000 Х 2 = 14000 N
Force that is making the truck move is 14000 N.
 
Hope this helps,
Keep posting and have a great day!
