A100 kg mass is pulled along a frictionless surface by a horizontal force f such that its acceleration is 8.0 m/s2. a 20 kg mass slides along the top of the 100 kg mass and has an acceleration of 3.0 m/s2. (it thus slides backward relative to the 100 kg mass.) (a) what is the frictional force exerted by the 100 kg mass on the 20 kg mass? (b) what is the net force acting on the 100 kg mass?

a) 60 N

b) 860 N

Explanation:

Given that,

= 100 kg

= 20 kg

= 8.0

= 3.0

a) By Newton's Law,

∑

∑

Hence,

b) By Newton's Law

∑

Hence,

Net force acting on 100 kg mass,

its a 5.5 n

glad that

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
