Answer:
it is good so far
i just passed my math test
Explanation:
Whenever light goes from transparent to another medium or from rarer to denser medium or vice versa, it's speed changes and hence light bends.
This is a beautiful problem to test whether a student actually understands
Newton's 2nd law of motion . . . Force = (mass) x (acceleration).
That simple law is all you need to solve this problem, but you need to
use it a few times.
m₁ alone:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
36 N = ( m₁ ) x (6 m/s²)
m₁ = (36 N) / (6 m/s²)
m₁ = 6 kilograms .
m₁ and m₂ glued together:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
36 N = (6 kg + m₂) x (2 m/s²)
6 kg + m₂ = (36 N) / (2 m/s²) = 18 kilograms
m₂ = 12 kilograms .
m₂ alone:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
36 N = (12 kg) x (acceleration)
Acceleration = (36 N) / (12 kg)
Acceleration = 3 m/s²
