Question

The figure below shows three blocks being pushed across a frictionless floor by horizontal force F^rightarrow. What total mass is accelerated to the right by force F^rightarrow? 9 kg 20 kg 17 kg 18 kg What total mass is accelerated to the right by force F_21^rightarrow of block 1 on block 2? 13 kg 15 kg 16 kg 12 kg What total mass is accelerated to the right by force F_32^rightarrow of block 2 on block 3? 10 kg 17 kg 16 kg 15 kg Rank the blocks according to their accelerations, greatest first. (Use only the symbols > or =, for example 1 > 2 = 3.) _______ Rank forces F^rightarrow, F_21^rightarrow, and F_32^rightarrow according to their magnitude, greatest first. (Use only the symbols > or =, for example F = F21 > F32.) _______

Explanation / Answer

a )

5 + 2 + 10

= 17 kg

b )

10 +

= 12 kg

c )

10 kg

d )

1 = 2 = 3

alll are same

e )

F > F21 > F32
