The answer is: any force equal to or greater than the forward momentum of the truck. So many variables enter into calculating a precise measurement of force needed to stop a vehicle - mass of the vehicle, conditions of friction and gravity - is the truck going uphill or downhill, or on a flat surface? Is the road slippery, smooth or rough?
Let's assume that normal conditions apply: a truck weighing 10,000 Kg traveling at an acceleration rate of 5m/s² along a flat smooth surface. Using Newton's second Law of Motion, expressed as a formula F=ma, where F is the Net Force (the sum of all forces acting on an object) in Newtons, m is the mass of the truck, and a is its acceleration rate, assumed here to be 5m/s². By multiplying the mass times acceleration, we see that a whopping 50,000 Newtons would be required to stop this truck. By comparison, the pull of gravity on a person of average weight (72 Kg, or 160 lb) is measured at 686 Newtons. So depending on the type of truck, weather conditions, wind speed, direction of the truck, and effect of gravity and friction (all included in net force, or Newtons) you can see that the actual Force, expressed as N, is a variable.

Car shakes at 80 need to stop car to stop shaking?
Stop or slow down? It sounds like a loose/worn suspension.
Proper tread on a tire can help a person?
Proper and adequate tread on vehicle tires can help a person by keeping his car on the road,steering correctly and able to stop quickly if needed.
When you push a penny across a table the penny will slide and eventually come to a stop what force brings the penny to a stop?
FRICTION
Can a car stop without rotors?
Yes, If you hit something. Rotors are very essential in stopping, that's what the brake pads are pressed in against to bring your car to a complete stop.
Car won't start unless I force the key forward in the ignition The accessory is fine but to get the car to actually start I have to force the key forward as hard as I can?
Sounds like a loose connection in the keyswitch wiring harness.
How much force is needed to stop a car that weighs 500kg and is going at 30 meters per second?
Depends on the amount of time we are given to stop the car. Force = mass x acceleration If we are given 1000 000 seconds to stop the car Force = 500kg * 30/1000000 = 0.015N
Why it is casier to short or to stop a car than a train?
because car in size and in mass is lighter than a train so the fact that its weight can affect the force needed to stop it so its easy to stop a car than a train .
How much force is needed to stop a car traveling 90 km hr?
Any amount of force will do it, no matter how small, as long as it's pointing in the direction opposite to the car's motion. The lighter the force is, the longer you'll have to wait for the car to stop, but any force greater than zero, no matter how small, will eventually do the job.
It take more force to stop a train than a car?
It takes less force to stop a train than to stop a car.
What force causes a car to stop?
Rolling friction causes a car to stop.
Hot to force car engine to stop?
There are several ways to force an car engine to stop. One way to force the engine to stop is to disconnect the battery. Another way to force the engine to stop is to turn off the ignition.
What force do the brakes use to stop a car?
the brakes use friction to stop the car
Why is friction an important force?
friction is an important force to have in life because friction helps objects that move or roll stop. Like brakes on a car, when you push down on the brakes the friction is there when the wheels stop,and the car will stop to.
What force allows a car's brakes to stop a car?
friction
What is the frictional force required to stop a car?
The same amount of force required to push the car.
What makes toy car stop rolling on the floor?
The force of gavity on car exerts friction on the wheels and axle that eventually stop the car from exerting forward force.
What force is needed to stop an object at constant speed?
Any force will do, but the larger the force, the faster will the object stop. The force, of course, has to be applied in the direction opposite to the movement.
