Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 56EAP
If a car stops suddenly, you feel “thrown forward.” We’d like to understand what happens to the passengers as a car stops.
Imagine yourself sitting on a very slippery bench inside a car. This bench has no fiction, no seat back, and there’s nothing for you to hold onto.
- Draw a picture and identify all of the force acting on you as the car travels at a perfectly steady speed on level ground.

hree blocks are at rest on a smooth, horizontal table. You push on block A (m = 1.50 kg) to the right with a horizontal force of F push. As a result, block A pushes on block B (m = 2.50 kg), block B pushes on block C (m = 1.20 kg), and the system of blocks moves to the right with an acceleration of 1.12 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force that block B exerts on block C?
