A package of mass m is release from rest at a warehouse loading dock and slides down a 3.0 m high frictionless chute to a waiting truck. Unfortunately, the truck
driver went on a break without having removed the previous package, of mass
2m, from the bottom of the chute. The two packages stick together upon their
collision.

a. Draw a sequence of energy pie diagrams representing these events.
b. Suppose the packages stick together after their collision. What is their
common speed after the collision?
c. Find how far will the packages slide after reaching the end of the ramp
(continue sliding horizontally) if the coefficient of friction is k = 0.5 starting
at the bottom of the ramp.

the answer is a. the yacht traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

im doing peak rn so sry if its wrong

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
