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).
Answer:
Approximately .
Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.
Explanation:
Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant near the surface of the earth.
For an object that is accelerating constantly,
,
where
is the initial velocity of the object,
is the final velocity of the object.
is its acceleration, and
is its displacement.
In this case, is the same as the change in the ball's height:
. By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result,
. Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity,
.
.
In this case, would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for
.
