    Why do 2 crates pulled together have the same acceleration?

    Hi. I was given the classic problem of a woman pulling crate 1 on a frictionless surface with a force F, which is attached to crate2 behind it with a rope. crate 1=6kg, crate 2= 4kg, and it says crate 1 has an acceleration of 2.5m/s^2... One question asks for the acceleration of crate 2, and...

    Distorting force vs restoring force in springs?

    Awhile back, I was learning about springs, and restoring/distorting force. We even did an experiment where we hung a spring and put weights on it and pulling it down, watching it oscillate. From this, I assumed the distorting force was the force that stretched the spring and restoring force is...
