Newton's 2nd Law

The net force is the product of mass and acceleration, calculated as F = ma. In this case, F = 5kg * 10m/s^2 = 50N.

Effect of Mass Increase on Acceleration

Increasing the mass of one block increases the overall mass of the system, which reduces the acceleration, assuming the applied force remains constant.

Friction Relationship

The force of friction is directly proportional to the coefficient of friction, as described by the equation f = μN, where f is the force of friction, μ is the coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.

Friction on Inclined Plane

With a 10kg block on a 30-degree incline and a friction coefficient of 0.2, the force of friction is 4.9N. Calculated using: Friction = μ * Normal Force, where the normal force is mg*cos(theta).

Force Applied on Friction Force

Increasing the applied force on a 2-block system also increases the force of friction, as the normal force (and thus the friction) is affected by the applied forces and the system's dynamics.

Acceleration Calculation

With masses of 2kg and 3kg connected by a string and a 20N force applied to the 3kg block, the acceleration of the system is 4m/s^2. Calculated using: F = (m1 + m2) * a.
