Answer:
3300 N
Explanation:
- According to the second Newton's law of motion the rate of change in momentum and the resultant force are directly proportional.
- Mathematically, [tex]F=\frac{(MVf-MVo)}{t}[/tex], where Vf is the final velocity and Vo is the initial velocity,
- But, [tex]\frac{(Vf-Vo)}{t}=a[/tex]
- Therefore, F=ma, where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
In this case we are given,
Mass of the truck = 1100 kg
Acceleration of the truck = 3 m/s²
We need to calculate the force,
Using the formula, F = ma
Force = 1100 kg × 3 m/s²
= 3300 Newtons
Therefore, the force of the tow truck is 3300 Newtons.
