Answer:
Acceleration of the second particle at that moment is given as

Explanation:
As we know that both cars are connected by same spring
So on this system of two cars there is no external force
So we will have

now we have



now we have

so we have

Explanation:
a. Net force is mass times acceleration (Newton's second law).
∑F = ma
∑F = (5.0 kg) (2.0 m/s²)
∑F = 10 N
b. The net force is the sum of the individual forces.
10 N = F − 5 N
F = 15 N
c. Friction force here is mgμ.
mgμ = 5 N
(5.0 kg) (10 m/s) μ = 5 N
μ = 0.1
A. is the right answer since work is negative and Q which is heat in negative also
