A 1.50 m -long, 550 g rope pulls a 14.0 kg block of ice across a horizontal, frictionless surface. The block accelerates at 2.50 m/s2 . How much force pulls forward on (a) the ice, (b) the rope?

a) 35 N force pulls on the Ice

b) 36.375 N force pulls on the rope

Explanation:

Mass of the rope,

Length of the rope,

Mass of the Ice,

Acceleration of the ice block,

a) The amount of force that pulls forward on the Ice,

b) The amount of force that pulls forward on the rope,

Since the rope is pulling the ice, both the force on the ice and the force on the rope alone combine to pull the rope.

Moreover, both the ice and the rope accelerate equally,

answer: option c.
