I probably didn't do this right.

Alright, so I tried specifying numbers on my own. Here's my go at it: Block A mass = 8 kg Block B mass = 20 kg Coefficient of kinetic friction for Block A = 0.20 Coefficient of kinetic friction for Block B = 0.40 Applied Force = 200 N Find Normal Force Block A F = ma F = 8kg x 9.8...

Homework Statement This is a question that the teacher gives every week that we do in class. He gives the parameters without the actual numbers a week before so we can prepare. The teacher will give: - the masses for both blocks (different) - the coefficient of friction for both...

Thank you for the input. What would I have to do if the braking rate for both of the cars are different?

Here's the question: A safe following distance for a car is often described as "two seconds". In other words, if you pass the same point as the car in front of you two seconds later, the distance between the cars is safe. Inquiry: is this rule true at highway speeds? Parameters: Car A...
