Does the ground need to exert a force on you for you to jump off the ground, or do you need to exert a force on the ground? If the ground must exert a force on you, is that force greater than the force you exert on the ground?
The two barges shown here are coupled by a cable of negligible mass. The mass of the front barge is 2.00103kgand the mass of the rear barge is 3.00103kg . A tugboat pulls the front barge with a horizontal force of magnitude 20.0103N . and the frictional forces of the water on the front and rear barges are 8.00103Nand 10.0103N . respectively. Find the horizontal acceleration of the barges and the tension in the connecting cable.
