Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

A horse pulls a wagon, and the wagon pulls back with the same force (according to Newton's 3rd Law). How do they get anywhere? O They were already moving with a constant velocity. O They don't; the forces cancel. The ground exerts a force on the horse. O The force exerted by the horse is greater than that by the wagon. O The forces don't cancel while they accelerate - only when they are moving at constant velocity.
A box of mass m1 rests on a smooth, horizontal floor next to a box of mass m2. suppose the force of 20.0 N pushes on two boxes of unknown mass.
A m1 = 5.01-kg block is placed on top of a m2 = 10.0-kg block (figure). horizontal force of F = 45.0 N is applied to the 10.0-kg block, and the 5.01-kg block is tied to the wall. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all moving surfaces is 0.182.(a)Draw a free-body diagram for each block and identify the action–reaction forces between the blocks.(b) Determine the tension in the string in magnitude of newtons.(c) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the 10.0-kg block.
Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless horizontal surface. The blocks are accelerated by a single horizontal force applied to the block m1. Where F = 150.0N , m7= 18 kg, and m2= 12 kg. The contact force of block 1 on block 2 is F m1 m2 О 300 N O 60 N O 120 N O 90 N
