A 4kg block and a 2kg block can move on horizontal frictionless surface. The blocks are accelerated by a +12-N force that pushes

the large block against the smaller one.'
a) Determine the force that the 2kg block exerts on the 4kg block

b) Determine the force that the 4kg block exerts on the 2kg block.

Answer:

a) -4 N

b) +4 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for each block.

For the large block, there are 2 forces: 12 N pushing to the right, and F pushing to the left.

For the small block, there is 1 force, F pushing to the right.

There are also weight and normal forces in the vertical direction, but we can ignore those.

Sum of forces on the large block in the x direction:

∑F = ma

12 − F = 4a

Sum of forces on the small block in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F = 2a

2F = 4a

Substitute:

12 − F = 2F

12 = 3F

F = 4

The small block pushes on the large block 4 N to the left (-4 N).

The large block pushes on the small block 4 N to the right (+4 N).

You travel in a car 30 miles north to ava and home again. what is your distance? __________________________________________ what
Luden [163]
If you travel 30 miles somewhere and then come home again your distance is 60 miles.  Your displacement is 0 because it is the ending position minus the beginning position, which are the same place (home).  In other words, displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.
