Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up

from left to right and a force is applied to the left side of the left cube causing all three cubes to accelerate to the right at 2.0 m/s2 . What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the middle cube by the left cube in this case?

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N

The acceleration of gravity is

9.8 m/s^2 down.

When an object falls out of a hand, its speed after 1.8s is

(9.8)x(1.8) = 17.6 m/s down.

It doesn't matter what it is, how much it weighs, or how high it was dropped from.

If it's more than 17.6 m/s, then this happened on a different, bigger planet.

If it's less than 17.6 m/s, then it must have hit something on the way down, like some air or something.
