A truck from rest and rolls downa hill with a constant acceleration. It travels a distance of 400 m in 20 s. Find its acceleration . Find the force acting on it its mass is 7 metric tonnes (Hint : 1 metric tonne = 1000 kg)

Answer»

SOLUTION :INITIAL velocity ,u=0
DISTANCE travelled , S=400 m, time taken t=20S
We know, `S=ut+1//2at^2`
or
`400 =0+1//2a(20)^2`
`A=2ms^(-2)`
Now, `m=7MT=7000kg, a=2ms^(-2)`
or F=ma `=7000xx2 =14000 N`
