4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
medium
Two masses of $1\,kg$ and $2\,kg$ respectively are connected by a massless spring as shown in figure. A force of $20\,N$ acts on the $2\,kg$ mass at the instant when the $1\, kg$ mass has an acceleration of $10\,ms^{-2}$ towards right, the acceleration of the $2\,\,kg$ mass is ......... $ms^{-2}$
A$2$
B$5$
C$10$
D$20$
Solution
$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{a}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2} \mathrm{a}_{2}$
[Newton's law for system]
$20=1 \times 10+2 \times a$
$a=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
[Newton's law for system]
$20=1 \times 10+2 \times a$
$a=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
