Homework Statement
If two cars of equal mass are pushed apart by a spring mounted on cart #1 with a force of 14 N what will be the resulting acceleration of the carts.
Mass of carts 1 and 2= 2.0Kg
f=14N
A?
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
My theory is that the Newtons will be distributed between the two carts so that each cart will receive 7N of force. Then i can apply f=ma to solve for the A so 7/2= 3.5m/s^2
