A loaded truck can accelerate at 3.2 m/s^2

It loses its load so that it is only 0.2 as massive. By what factor must the acceleration change for the same driving force?

2 answers

since F=MA, and the mass is going to be 1/5 the amount it originally was, the acceleration must increase by a factor of 5.
Wow i definitely over thought that one. thank you so much for helping me! it means so much to me!
