A 1100 kg car pushes a 2200 kg truck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push against the ground with a force of 5000 N . Rolling friction can be neglected. You may want to review (Pages 165 - 168) . Part A What is the magnitude of the force of the car on the truck

a) 3344 N

b) 3344 N

Explanation:

This is the complete question

1100 kg car pushes a 2200 kg truck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push against the ground with a force of 5000 N. Rolling friction can be neglected.  A. What is the magnitude of the force of the car on the truck? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.  B. What is the magnitude of the force of the truck on the car?

Mass of the car = 1100 kg

Mass of the truck = 2200 kg

Force exerted on the ground by the car = 5000 N

The total mass in the system = 1100 + 2200 = 3300 Kg

Total force in the system = 5000 N

Recall that the force in the system = mass x acceleration

therefore,

5000 = 3300 x a

Total acceleration in the system = 5000/3300 = 1.52 m/s^2

The force on the truck individually fro the car, will be the product of this acceleration and its mass

Force on the truck = 2200 x 1.52 = 3344 N

b) Force on the car From the truck will be equal to this force but will act in the opposite direction.

Force on the car from the truck is 3344 N
