The work done by a truck pulling a trailer for a distance of 100 M while exerting a force of 480 newtons is 48000 newtons.
While the forces between the truck and trailer are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they act on different objects (truck and trailer) resulting in acceleration of the entire system. The truck exerts a force on the trailer causing it to accelerate forward, and in return, the trailer exerts an equal and opposite force on the truck. As both objects have different masses, this results in them accelerating in the direction of the larger force, which is from the truck to the trailer.
the truck and the insect have the same amount of force....Newtons third law
The force required is 70,310 newtons.

The action and reaction forces between the truck and trailer do balance each other, but they act on different objects. The forward force from the truck on the trailer causes the trailer to accelerate forward, while the equal and opposite force from the trailer on the truck causes the truck to accelerate forward. The net result is that both the truck and trailer move forward together.
The action force and reaction force occur on different objects, so they do not cancel each other out. The forward force applied by the truck is on the trailer, causing it to accelerate forward. The equal and opposite reaction force from the trailer acts on the truck, causing it to accelerate in the forward direction.

Since there is a downward 1.5-ton gravitational force on the truck, there must also be an upward 1.5-ton 'normal' force acting on it at the ground. If the vertical forces on it were not balanced and adding to zero, then the truck would be accelerating vertically, either up or down, depending on the direction of the 'net' force.
force on ground = mass * acceleration due to gravity (approx 9.82 (m/s)/s at earths surface) say truck mass = 10,000 kg then: 10,000 * 9.82 = 98,200 newtons acting down equaling this with upward force of 98,200 newtons = weightless truck anything greater than this force = upward acceleration (lifting)
Whichever is lighter will accelerate more quickly.
force = mass x accel = 1800 x 3 = 5400 Newtons
If the truck and trailer are not equiped with air brakes. If the truck and trailer are not comercial vehicals.
