Question
A truck rolls down a hill with constant acceleration after starting from rest. It travels a distance of 100 m in 10 s. find its acceleration. Find the force acting on it, if its mass is 5 metric tons. (tonne)

Solution
Initial velocity of the truck = 0 ms-1
Distance covered by truck = 100 m
Time taken to cover this distance = 10 s.
We know Distance covered would be S = ut + 1/2 at2.
100 =1/2 Xa X100
a= 2 ms-2.
Mass of truck = 5 metric tons = 5000 kg.
Force acted on truck = mass X acceleration
Force = 5000 X 2 = 10000 N.
