- Homework Statement
- Hey I could really use some help with this question. I know I need to use Newton's Laws but I am not sure if the force I am calculating when I us ethe equation F=ma is the right one. Please help:
Block A (of mass: mA = 500g) and block B (mB = 3kg) are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless surface. A force of 49.6 N is applied to block A pushing it into block B resulting in a normal force between the blocks. Calculate the strength of the normal force between block A and block B.
I would appreciate any help!
- Relevant Equations
- f=m*a
Here's what I have:
Block A is accelerating at a= 49.6/0.5 m/s (99.2m/s)
Block B force is F= 3kg * 99.2 = 297.6N
but I'm not sure where to go from here?
Block B force is F= 3kg * 99.2 = 297.6N
but I'm not sure where to go from here?
