Answer:
The average net force on the truck is 375 Newtons.
Explanation:
Using Newton’s 3rd equation of motion, we have :
where, v = final velocity = 25 m/s
u = initial velocity = 20 m/s
a = acceleration
s = distance traveled = 300 m
Using these values in the above equation, we get acceleration = 0.375 m/
Using Newton’s second law, we have:
F=m×a
where m = mass = 1000 kg
a= acceleration = 0.375 m/
Putting values we have F=375 N
