To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between mass and force. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, **force** is given by the equation:

\[
F = ma
\]

Where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object,
- \( a \) is the acceleration.

Since the trucks have the same acceleration, the force applied will be directly proportional to the mass of the load each truck is carrying. The larger the mass, the larger the force required to slow down the truck.

### Steps:
1. Calculate the total mass for each load:
   - **5 boxes of tools**: \( 5 \times 8 = 40 \) kg
   - **2 buckets of paint**: \( 2 \times 10 = 20 \) kg
   - **20 concrete blocks**: \( 20 \times 11 = 220 \) kg
   - **10 potted palm trees**: \( 10 \times 40 = 400 \) kg

2. Rank the total masses from largest to smallest:
   - **10 potted palm trees**: 400 kg
   - **20 concrete blocks**: 220 kg
   - **5 boxes of tools**: 40 kg
   - **2 buckets of paint**: 20 kg

So, the correct order of the force (from largest to smallest) is:
1. 10 potted palm trees
2. 20 concrete blocks
3. 5 boxes of tools
4. 2 buckets of paint

Would you like further clarification or details on this?

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:
1. How would the force change if the trucks had different accelerations?
2. What happens to the force if the mass of the load doubles but acceleration stays constant?
3. How does the force relate to the truck's deceleration?
4. If one truck carried 50 concrete blocks, how would that affect the force required?
5. How is inertia related to the mass of these objects during deceleration?

**Tip**: Remember that in problems involving force and mass, if acceleration is constant, the mass is the key factor that influences force directly.

Order the loads to show the size of the force on each truck as it slows down. The trucks have the same acceleration and are carrying different objects with given masses.

Learn how to rank the forces acting on trucks carrying different loads based on their masses. This problem applies Newton's second law, where the force is proportional to the mass when acceleration is constant. Suitable for students in Grades 7-9.
