$A$ truck starts from rest and rolls down a hill with constant acceleration. It travels a distance of $400 \, m$ in $20 \, s$. Find its acceleration. Find the force acting on it, if its mass is $7$ metric tons.

  • A
    Acceleration = $2 \, m/s^2$, Force = $14000 \, N$
  • B
    Acceleration = $1 \, m/s^2$, Force = $7000 \, N$
  • C
    Acceleration = $4 \, m/s^2$, Force = $28000 \, N$
  • D
    Acceleration = $0.5 \, m/s^2$, Force = $3500 \, N$
