Truck Acceleration Calculator:
Enter the values of Force generated by the Engine FE(Newton), Force of Drag FD(Newton) & Mass of the Truck m(kg) to determine the value of Truck Acceleration TA(m/s2) .
Truck Acceleration Formula:
The Truck Acceleration TA(m/s2) in meter per second square is Equal to the Force generated by the Engine FE(Newton) in Newton is Subtracted the Force of Drag FD(Newton) in Newton and is Divided by the Mass of the Truck m(kg) in kilogram.
The Formula of Truck Acceleration can be written as,
TA(m/s2) = ( FE(Newton) – FD(Newton) ) / m(kg)
Here,
TA(m/s2) = Truck Acceleration in meter per second square
FE(Newton) = Force generated by the Engine in Newton
FD(Newton) = Force of Drag in Newton
m(kg) = Mass of the Truck in kilogram
Truck Acceleration Calculation :
1)Calculate the Truck Acceleration and given for Force generated by the Engine = 500N , Force of Drag = 150N , Mass of the Truck = 10kg.
Answer
TA = ( FE – FD ) / m
TA = ( 500 – 150 ) / 10
TA = 35m/s2.
2)Calculate the Mass of the Truck and given for Force generated by the Engine = 500N , Force of Drag = 150N , Truck Acceleration = 35m/s2.
Answer
TA = ( FE – FD ) / m
35 = ( 500 – 150 ) / m
m = 10kg.
