If, somehow miraculously, the block is on a frictionless slide, and there is

no frictional force opposing its horizontal motion, then

F = M A

A = F/M = 583/44 = 13.25 m/s2 = about 1.35 G's

quote suitable equation (F=ma). rearrange the equation (a=F/m). substitute values (a=200/40). then work out. a=5 m/s^2

A block has acceleration A when pulled by a string If two identical blocks are glued together and pulled with twice the original force what will their acceleration be?

I think so. I'm not a physics expert but see if this makes sense to you.Force = mass * accelerationdouble the mass and you getForce = 2 * mass * accelerationdouble the force with double the mass and you get2 * Force = 2 * mass * accelerationusing simple division math you cancel the 2's which results inForce = mass * accelerationSo I think it would be the same acceleration.


How would the observed value of the acceleration of a block be affected if the one used is heavier?

From f = m*a, a = f/m, so if the force remains constant and the mass increases, the acceleration will decrease. But if the block is on an incline and the force is provided by gravity, the force will increase directly proportional to the mass of the block, and acceleration will remain the same.


What happens when you put a negative acceleration and positive acceleration together?

You add them. For example, if a block is accelerating to the right at 2 m/s2 but is being slowed by friction accelerating the block to the left at 1 m/s2, then you can add the accelerations--positive is right and negative is left. The net acceleration would be 1 m/s2 to the right.


What way does the friction act if you're pulling a nail out of the block of wood?

Friction acts towards the nail in the block when you are pulling it out. In other words, it will try to keep the nail in the block and not let it be pulled out by the hammer.


How much does a block of ice with a mass of 500g weigh?

A 500g block of ice weighs approx. 4.905 Newtons as weight is the force due to gravitational acceleration acting on a mass.F=mgwhere:F = force (Newtons)Am = mass (kg)g = gravitational acceleration (ms-2)BA In this case the force is due to gravitational acceleration and is therefore weight.B g is assumed to equal 9.81ms-2.
