To solve this problem we will use the Force equation according to the definition given in Newton's second law. There we have that the Force is equal to
[tex]F =ma[/tex]
Where,
m = mass
a = acceleration
Our values are given as
[tex]m_1 = 1500 kg[/tex]
[tex]m_2 = 4000 kg[/tex]
[tex]a = 2.0 m/s^2[/tex]
Considering that both mass are equal to one, we have that:
[tex]F = (m_1+m_2)* a[/tex]
[tex]F = (1500 + 4000)(2.0)[/tex]
[tex]F = 11000 N = 11kN[/tex]
Therefore the truck exert a force on the car of 11kN
