A block of mass 3 kg in contact with a second block of mass 2 kg rests on a horizontal frictionless surface . A horizontal force of 10 N is applied to push the first block. The force with which the first block pushes the second block is:
4 N
A = F /(m1 +m2) = 10/5 = 2 m/s2
Force on second block pushed by the first
F = m2a = 2 x 2 =4 N
