[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]
The force acting on an object is given by
[tex]\boxed{F_{net} = ma}[/tex]
where:
F net = net force
m = mass
a = acceleration
[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]
Solving for Fnet
F net = F applied - F friction
F net = 70 N - 20 N
F net = 50 N
Solving for a
F = ma
[tex]\dfrac{F_{net}}{m} = \dfrac{ma}{m}[/tex]
[tex]a = \dfrac{F_{net}}{m}[/tex]
[tex]a = \dfrac{\text{50 N}}{\text{2,070 kg}}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{a = \text{0.0242 m/}\text{s}^{2}}[/tex]
Therefore, the acceleration of the truck is 0.0242 m/s².
