Two blocks are pushed along a horizontal frictionless surface by a force of 20 newtons to the right, as shown above. The force that the 2-kilogram block exerts on the 3-kilogram block is
8 newtons to the left
8 newtons to the right
10 newtons to the left
12 newtons to the right
20 newtons to the left
Three blocks of masses 3m, 2m, ands are connected to strings A, B, and C as shown above. The blocks are pulled along a rough surface by a force of magnitude F exerted by string C. The coefficient of friction between each block and the surface is the same. Which string must be the strongest in order not to break?
A
B
C
They must all be the same strength.
It is impossible to determine without knowing the coefficient of friction.
A block moving to the right on a level surface with friction is pulled by an increasing horizontal force also directed to the right. As the applied force increases, which of the following is true of the normal force and the frictional force on the block?
A
B
C
D
E
A homeowner pushes a lawn mower across a horizontal patch of grass with a constant speed by applying a force P. The arrows in the diagram correctly indicate the directions but not necessarily the magnitudes of the various forces on the lawn mower. Which of the following relations among the various force magnitudes, W, f, N, P is correct?
P > f and N > W
P < f and N = W
P > f and N < W
P = f and N > W
