(-)11,666.67 N. To calculate this, you need to use the impulse-momentum principle, whereby the change in momentum is equal to the force multiplied by the time over which the force is applied. The change in momentum here is the final speed x the mass - the initial speed x the mass. Then divide the answer by the time (six seconds) and the answer will be the force applied (in this case the answer is negative as the force is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of the truck's motion.)
