5.3 Exercise 2

Avg difficulty 2.5

A 550-kg sports car collides with a 2200-kg truck, and during the collision, the net force on each vehicle is the force exerted by the other. If the magnitude of the truck’s acceleration is 10m/s2,10 \text{m}/\text{s}^{2} , what is the magnitude of the sports car’s acceleration?
