1. Homework Statement
In the figure below, a block of ice slides down a frictionless ramp at angle θ = 50°, while an ice worker pulls up the ramp (via a rope) with a force of magnitude Fr = 60 N. As the block slides through distance d = 0.65 m along the ramp, its kinetic energy increases by...
Well obviously that would make the mass of A 2 kg and the mass of B 4. My thinking was that the block that was being pushed by the other one would need to exert an opposite force, so if A is pushing on B with a 26 N force and weighs 2 kg, the acceleration would be 13, which doesn't work (if A...
Homework Statement
For two touching blocks, a constant horizontal force Fa is applied to block A to the right, which pushes against block B with a 26.0 N force directed horizontally to the right. In figure (b), the same force Fa is applied to block B to the right (the blocks switched places)...
