Question

A spring is compressed between two blocks, one with a mass of 2 kg and the other with a mass of 3 kg. If the 2 kg block has an average acceleration of 6 m/s^2 when the spring acts on it, what will be the average acceleration of the 3 kg block?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Consider the masses, $m_{1}$ =2 kg and $m_{2}$ =3 kg.

Hence average acceleration of $m_{1}$ is $a_{1} = 6 m / s^{2}$ .

We need to calculate average acceleration of $m_{2},$ which is $a_{2}$ .
