Two frictionless blocks, having masses of 8.0 kg and 1.0 kg, rest on a horizontal surface. if a force applied to the 8.0 kg block gives it an acceleration of 5.0m/s2, then the same force will give the 1.0 kg block an acceleration (in m/s2 of

Acceleration in 1 kg block = a2 = 40 m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 = 8 kg  

Mass of second block = m2 = 1 kg  

Acceleration in first block = a1 = 5 m/s  

According to newton’s second law of motion,

F1 = m1a1    …….. (i)

As the same force is applied on second block so,

F1 = m2a2   ……… (ii)

Comparing equation (i) and (ii) ,

m1a1 = m2a2

a2 = m1a1/m2

a2 = (8)(5)/1

a2 = 40 m/s^2  

i believe the answer is a

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .
