Question

A block of dry ice slides at a constant velocity on a smooth, horizontal, frictionless surface. A second block of dry ice slides twice as fast on the same surface (at a higher constant velocity).

Compare the resultant forces exerted on each block.

The resultant force exerted on the first block is less than the resultant force on the second block. The resultant force exerted on the first block and the resultant force on the second block are both zero. The resultant force exerted on the first block is greater than the resultant force on the second block. None of the above.

Explanation / Answer

The resultant force exerted on the first block and the resultant force on the second block are both zero.

since the both Blocks move at constant velocity , acceleration is 0 for both. and hence the net resultant force
