Default Laws of motion (check my answer)
Question:
An empty truck with mass of 2500kg has an engine that will accelerate at a rate of [LaTeX Error: Can't write to directory] .What will be the acceleration when the truvk has an additional load of 1500kg?

Attempt:
2500*1.5=4000*x
[LaTeX Error: Can't write to directory]


Am I correct ?
Thank you
