Answer:

The mass of A and B together is 125kg

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we set up the equations expressing the net force acting on A and B (forces acting to the right are +, those acting to the left are -):

m_B\cdot a_B=F - F_{fr}\\m_A\cdot a_A = F_{fr}\\a_A = a_B

The net force acting on B is due to the acting pull force 100N less friction force caused by A. The net force on A is due to the friction force caused by the block B. Since we know both blocks accelerate at the same rate, the system can be solved easily:

(m_B+m_A)\cdot a_B=F\\(m_B+m_A)\cdot 0.800 \frac{m}{s^2}=100N\implies\\m_B+m_A = \frac{100N}{0.800\frac{m}{s^2}}kg= 125kg

Of course, alternatively, in this very simple case you could consider A+B a single object being pulled with 100N, and obtain the same results by diving the pull force by the acceleration.

What is the potential energy of a falling rock if it has a mass of 64 kg and fell from a height of 54 m
Talja [164]

<u>P.E (Potential Energy) = 33868.8 J</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula to calculate Potential energy is:

PE = mgh

where PE = potential energy

m = mass of an object

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the object

Here, m = 64 kg

         g  =  9.8 m / s^{2}

         h  = 54 m

So, substituting the values in the formula:

PE = mgh

    = 64 × 9.8 × 54

    = <u> 33868.8 J</u>
