Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. the cubes are lined up from left to right and a force is applied to the left side of the left cube causing all three cubes to accelerate to the right at 2.0 m/s2 . what is the magnitude of the force exerted on the middle cube by the left cube in this case?

24 N

Explanation:

= mass of the cube =

Consider the three cubes together as one.

= mass of the three cubes together =

= acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

= Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

= Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
