Two blocks connected by a string are pulled across a horizontal surface by a force applied to one of the blocks, as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the surface is 0.25. If each block has an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 to the right, what is the magnitude F of the applied force?
 
 
 
   
  a.
  25 N
   
  b.
  18 N
   
  c.
  11 N
   
  d.
  14 N
   
  e.
  7.0 N

Question 2

Two blocks are accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface as shown. Frictional forces keep the two blocks from sliding relative to each other, and the two move with the same acceleration. If F = 1.2 N and M = 1.0 kg, what is the horizontal component (frictional force) of the force of the small block on the large block?
 
   


   
  a.
  0.48 N to the right
   
  b.
  0.72 N to the right
   
  c.
  0.72 N to the left
   
  d.
  0.48 N to the left
   
  e.
  0.65 N to the left

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.
