Yes, because you attract the earth with the same gravitational force

that the earth attracts you.

What is the weight of a 1200 kg truck?

The weight of a 1200 kg truck is approximately 12000 N (Newtons) on Earth's surface, assuming standard gravity of 9.81 m/s^2.


When a truck pulls a trailer and truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but are in opposite directions why don't these forces balance each other?

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.


How does the car, while pushing the truck, accelerate to reach cruising speed?

When a car pushes a truck, the car's engine provides the necessary force to accelerate both vehicles. As the car gains speed, the force of friction between the tires and the road decreases, allowing the car to reach cruising speed.


When a moving truck collides with a falling leaf Why doesn't the truck accelerate like the leaf does?

Actually, the truck DOES decelerate, but its mass is so very much larger than the mass of the leaf, that the amount of deceleration is infinitesmal and too small to measure. Theoretically, at least, it is there.


Use Bernoulli's principle to explain why a car passing a truck tends to be pushed toward the truck?

As the car passes the truck, the air pressure between them decreases due to the Bernoulli principle as the air speeds up to fill the space. The higher pressure on the truck side then pushes the car toward the truck, a phenomenon known as the Bernoulli effect, which causes vehicles to feel this force when passing closely.

Why is a greater amount of force needed to accelerate a truck than a jeepney even if they are running with the same velocity?

The truck has a greater mass and therefore a greater amount of inertia to overcome. To accelerate a greater mass requires a greater force.

Power to weight ratio.


Why would your truck smell like ammonia when you accelerate?

Your truck may smell like a number of things when you accelerate if you have a leak in the ventilation system. It is possible to smell burning motor oil, gas, windshield washer fluid and other things.


Which is easier to accelerate a car or truck why?

so this really depends on HP ( horse power) if a car has more horse power than a truck than it will accelerate faster and also cause cars are lighter than trucks. so you have power and less weight than a truck. so to answer your question it depends on the car and the truck. how much HP either one has and how heavy they are,


When a truck pulls a trailer the trailer and truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but opposite directions Why don't these forces balance each other?

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.
