A warehouse worker applies a force F to accelerate two crates, mã and mp, to the right along a rough floor. Crate mд has a mass of 4m, crate mp has a mass of m. Choose 1 answer: A F Which is the correct relationship between the applied force F acting on mд and the force mд exerts on mB? B D MA mB The force Facting on my is smaller than the force that mA exerts on MB. The force Facting on my is the same as the force that mA exerts on MB. The force Facting on my is larger than the force that mд exerts on MB. The answer depends on the relative size of the friction force on MA and MB.

In the figure shown a cord of tension T joins m, and m2 (m2 > m,). Assume the cord is light, taut and un-stretchable. A force F acting on m2 makes the system accelerate forward. What is the direction (if any) of the tension force T acting on m2? T. m2 F my O None, since T does not act on m2, only on m, Tis directed forward (to the right). O T is directed backward (to the left). K
