Block b has mass 4.00 kg and sits at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. block a has mass 2.00 kg and sits at rest on top of block b. the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.400. a horizontal force p⃗ is then applied to block a.
what is the largest value p can have and the blocks move together with equal accelerations?

P= 12 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of B block m= 4 kg

Mass of A block m'= 2 kg

μ = 0.4

Given that block B is on friction less surface .If these blocks moves together with same acceleration only if the this acceleration will be equal to the acceleration of block B which produce by friction force.

Lets take acceleration is a m/s²

For block A

fr= μ m' g

fr= 0.4 x 2 x 10 N

fr= 8 N    

For block B

fr= m a

8 = 4 .a

a = 2 m/s²

If they moves together

P= (m+m') a

P = (4+ 2) x 2

P = 12 N

P= 12 N

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.
