PHYS 031 Lecture Notes - Net Force
Document Summary
Chapter 7: newton s third law: two cars have equal masses. Car b is stopped and car a runs into the back of car b. Car b exerts the same amount of force on car a as a exerts on b: all 3 50 kg blocks are at rest. The tension is equal: this pulley is set on this frictionless table. The tension is less than the weight of block b: a small car is pushing a larger truck. The mass of the truck is greater than the mass of the car. The car exerts the same amount of force on the truck as the truck exerts on the car. Example #1: boxes a and b are sliding to the right across a frictionless table. The mass of a is larger than the mass of b. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the horizontal forces on a, b, and h.
