Question

A force of 6 N produces an acceleration of 2 m/s2 when it acts on a body A and 3 m/s2 when it acts on another body B. If the bodies A and B are tied together and a force of 5 N is applied, what will be the acceleration?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

case 1

force =6 N acceleration = 2 m/s 2

mass = $\frac{6}{2}$ = 3 kg

case 2

force = 6 N acceleration = 3 m/s 2

mass = $\frac{6}{3}$ = 2 kg

total mass = 3+2 kg =5 kg total force = 5 N

total acceleration = 1m/s
