    Calculating Maximum Acceleration in a Utility Vehicle with Additional Mass

    Thank you, that was a great help! I went 5000 x 6.0 which gave me 30000 units. Then I went a = 30, 000 divided by 5800 which gave me 5.17, so they must have rounded it off to just two. Yet, it perplexes me still. I used this for another question; which is A truck has a maximum acceleration of...

    Calculating Maximum Acceleration in a Utility Vehicle with Additional Mass

    Thanks for your explanation about the ^2! I'm slightly familiar with Newton's law. But all they are telling us is that mass is inversely proportional to acceleration, and force is directly proportional to acceleration, and we have to use that. I don't think I'm supposed to use Newtons law for...

    Calculating Maximum Acceleration in a Utility Vehicle with Additional Mass

    [Mentor's Note: Thread moved to Introductory Homework Forum] What's up. I have this question in my physics book regarding what forces do. Can I please get help with this question. A utility vehicle has a maximum acceleration of 6.0 m/s when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of...
