A 3,500 kg truck accelerates uniformly from 15.00 m/s to 35.00 m/s east. During this acceleration, the track travels 187 m. What is the net force acting on the car during this acceleration.

Question

agent0smith · Answer

Use one of the equations of motion to find acceleration. 

Then use net force = ma.

What confuses me is how to deal with the 2 accelerations.

aivantettet26 · Answer

Should I just go,
F1=ma1
and
F2=ma2
then

F1 + F2 = Fnet?

a is accelerate and it is = $V_2-V_1$

agent0smith · Answer

There is one acceleration. Two velocities are given. So is displacement.

Use them and the v^2 equation to find acceleration.
