What is the resulting acceleration of object B placed on object A?

In summary, object A is placed on a frictionless floor with object B on top. The drag coefficient between A & B is 0.3. Object A has a length of 1m and object B has a length of 30 cm. A force of 100N is applied to object B. The acceleration of B is calculated to be 7.06 m/s^2 based on the given mass values of mA=20kg and mB=10kg. The formula used is s=1/2*a*t^2 and \Sigma_F_=ma.

How did you calculated the acceleration?

Remember that in case of a linear motion: s =1/2*a*t^2.

[tex]\Sigma_F_=ma[/tex]
f=ma
mBg*0.3=ma

Did you calculate this or was it given to you? This is the acceleration of which block?
[tex]\Sigma_F_=ma[/tex]
f=ma
mBg*0.3=ma
Which block is this? Please show your work.
 

What are Newton's three laws of motion?

Newton's first law states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. Newton's second law states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. And Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What is the practical application of Newton's laws?

Newton's laws of motion are used in various fields, such as engineering, physics, and biomechanics, to understand and predict the motion of objects. They are also used in the design of machines and structures, such as airplanes and bridges, to ensure their stability and safety.

Can Newton's laws be broken?

No, Newton's laws are fundamental principles of physics and have been extensively tested and proven to hold true in all observed situations. However, they may not accurately predict the motion of objects at very high speeds or in extreme conditions, such as in outer space or near a black hole.

What is the difference between mass and weight according to Newton's laws?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. According to Newton's second law, an object's weight is directly proportional to its mass and the acceleration due to gravity.

Can Newton's laws be applied to objects in outer space?

Yes, Newton's laws can be applied to objects in outer space as long as there is an external force acting on the object, such as gravity or a propulsion system. However, in the absence of external forces, an object in space will continue to move at a constant velocity due to Newton's first law.
