How long would a 2950 N force need to act to cause a 6000 kg delivery truck to accelerate from 4.0m/s to 29.0m/s?​

Time, t = 50.8 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 6000 kg

Force = 2950 N

Initial velocity = 4 m/s

Final velocity = 29 m/s

To find time;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the truck using the following formula;

Force = mass * acceleration

2950 = 6000 * acceleration

Acceleration = 2950/6000

Acceleration = 0.492 m/s²

Next, we find time using the first equation of motion;

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Time, t = 50.8 seconds.
