Since they're all in the same liquid I'm assuming the buoyant forces would be the same on each block. But then I think about the volumes of the blocks, and them being different. I'm not sure if the block's volume would affect the buoyant force. Any help would be great, thanks!

Yea I think it's talking about the effects of Newton 3 since that's what we've covered in the lesson. But I am still unsure of how that relates to the magnitude of accelerations. Equal but opposite forces, so would they have the same acceleration?

Homework Statement Two identical trucks traveling at different constant speeds are about to collide. The trucks are traveling in opposite directions with truck A going at a velocity of 3m/s right and truck B going at 4m/s left. During the collision, will the magnitude of the acceleration of...

NOW I understand! Thank you!

Ok so I have a similar homework problem and I've read the thread but I'm still failing to understand. Sorry if it's dumb and repetitive, but if you had a string on a pulley with two weights on each side, each exerting a force of 80N would the tension on the string be the same throughout? Would...
