Suppose a truck is moving with acceleration a.Will truck experience a pseudo force or the materials inside the truck will experience a pseudo force or both?

Dear student,

 

Observers inside a closed box that is moving with a constant velocity cannot detect their own motion; however, observers within an accelerating reference frame can detect that they are in a non- inertial reference frame from the fictitious forces that arise. They can even map out the magnitude and direction of the acceleration at every point with a plumb bob and a protractor. 

 

When a car accelerates hard, the common human response is to feel "pushed back into the seat." In an inertial frame of reference attached to the road, there is no physical force moving the rider backward. However, in the rider's non-inertial reference frame attached to the accelerating car, there is a backward fictitious force. From the point of view of the interior of the car, an
accelerating reference frame, there is a fictitious force
pushing the passenger backwards, with magnitude equal to
the mass of the passenger times the acceleration of the
car. This force pushes the passenger back into the seat,
until the seat compresses and provides an equal and
opposite force. Thereafter, the passenger is stationary in
this frame, because the fictitious force and the (real) force
of the seat are balanced.From the point of view of the interior of the car, an

Hope this helps.
