I'm guessing here

A truck has a mass of 2000 kilograms. The driving force created by the engine is 3000 newtons. What is the acceleration caused by this unbalanced force? 

1 Newton is the force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 metre per second squared.

F=m*a

3000=2000*a

a=1.5 m/s^2
