OK. So you're pushing on the small box, and on the other side of it, the small
box is pushing on the big box. So you're actually pushing both of them.
-- The total mass that you're pushing is (5.2 + 7.4) = 12.6 kg.
-- You're pushing it with 5.0N of force.
-- Acceleration of the whole thing = (force)/(mass) = 5/12.6 = <em>0.397 m/s²</em> (rounded)
-- Both boxes accelerate at the same rate. So the box farther away from you ...
the big one, with 7.4 kg of mass, accelerates at the same rate.
The force on it to make it accelerate is (mass) x (acceleration) =
(7.4 kg) x (5/12.6 m/s²) = <em>2.936 N.</em>
The only force on the big box comes from the small box, pushing it from behind.
So that same <em>2.936N</em> must be the contact force between the boxes.

Explanation:
A number of human activities can impact on the water cycle: damming rivers for hydroelectricity, using water for farming, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels.
Answer:
The input force that you use on an inclined plane is the force with which you push or pull an object. The output force is the force that you would need to lift the object without the inclined plane. This force is equal to the weight of the object.
