Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving two objects, A and B, where object B is placed on top of object A. The scenario includes a frictionless floor, a drag coefficient between the two objects, and a force applied to object B. Participants are trying to determine the resulting acceleration of object B and the time it takes for B to reach the edge of A.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are discussing the calculation of acceleration and the forces acting on the objects. There are questions about how the acceleration was determined and which block's acceleration is being referenced. Some participants are attempting to relate the motion equations to the problem.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the calculations and the assumptions made regarding the forces involved. There is no explicit consensus on the method used to arrive at the acceleration value mentioned.

Contextual Notes

Participants have noted the masses of the objects and the drag coefficient, but there may be missing information regarding the setup and the calculations leading to the acceleration value. The problem appears to involve multiple interpretations of the forces at play.

Object A placed on a floor frictionless and object B placed on object A.
The drag coefficient between A & B is 0.3
The length of A is 1m and the length of B is 30 cm .
a force of 100N workin on object B.
What is the time take to the edge of object B placed on the edge of object A ?


all i received its that acceleration of B a = 7.06

ohh i forgat :
mA=20kg
mB=10kg
 
somebody ?

please
 
How did you calculated the acceleration?

Remember that in case of a linear motion: s =1/2*a*t^2.
 
[tex]\Sigma_F_=ma[/tex]
f=ma
mBg*0.3=ma

Did you calculate this or was it given to you? This is the acceleration of which block?
[tex]\Sigma_F_=ma[/tex]
f=ma
mBg*0.3=ma
Which block is this? Please show your work.
