Question

A car and a truck are pushed with the same sufficient force, which one will accelerate more?

  1. Car
  2. Truck
  3. They both accelerate equally
  4. Both do not move

hintHint:

m∝1/a

The correct answer is: Car


    • F= ma
    • m=F/a or m∝1/a (F is equal for both)
    • Since, the force is constant and mass is indirectly proportional to acceleration. 
    • A car will accelerate more as it has less mass than a truck.
