caljuice said:If there are 3 blocks weighing 20 kgs each and placed next to each other on a frictionless floor, and I exert 10 N, all 3 blocks will still move right? Do all the boxes receive a 10N push since there is no friction to reduce the force as it transfers? But do I only get pushed back 10N due to reaction force? Finally do the same concepts apply if the masses are 1million kgs? Thanks!
The concept refers to a theoretical experiment that studies the motion of a box on a surface with no friction when a force of 10N is applied to it.
Understanding the principles of motion and forces acting on objects with no friction can help in the development of efficient transportation systems and the design of machinery and equipment.
The experiment involves placing a box on a frictionless surface and applying a force of 10N to it. The motion of the box is then observed and recorded.
The box is expected to continue moving in a straight line with constant velocity after the 10N force is applied, due to the absence of friction. This is in accordance with Newton's First Law of Motion.
The principles observed in this experiment can be applied in the development of efficient transportation systems such as high-speed trains and roller coasters. It can also be used in the design of machinery and equipment for industries.
