3.-/2 pointsBUElemPhys1 3.P.103 Three blocks are placed side-by-side on a frictionless horizontal surface and subjected to a horizontal force F, that causes the blocks to accelerate from rest to the right. There are two different arrangements of the blocks, case 1 and case 2, as shown in the diagram. The same force F is used in both cases 2.0 kg 2.0 kg 5.0 k 5.0 k 3.0 kg 3.0 kg Case 1 Case 2 Choose all the correct statements about this. Note that when we refer to acceleration or force in the statements, we're just asking about magnitudes. (Select all that apply.) The acceleration of the system is the same in both cases The acceleration of the system is larger in case 1 The acceleration of the system is larger in case 2 The net force experienced by the 2.0 kg block is the same in both cases The net force experienced by the 2.0 kg block is larger in case 1. The net force experienced by the 2.0 kg block is larger in case 2 The magnitude of the force applied by the 5.0 kg block on the 2.0 kg block is the same in both cases. The magnitude of the force applied by the 5.0 kg block on the 2.0 kg block is larger in case 1 The magnitude of the force applied by the 5.0 kg block on the 2.0 kg block is larger in case 2 The magnitude of the force applied by the 3.0 kg block on the block next to it is the same in both cases The magnitude of the force applied by the 3.0 kg block on the block next to it is larger in case 1 The magnitude of the force applied by the 3.0 kg block on the block next to it is larger in case 2

Explanation / Answer

net acceleration of the system = F(net) / total mass

= F/10

so this will be same in both the case

so acceleration of both system will be the same

The net force experienced on all the masses is the same
