Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a rough floor. He decides to move them at the same time by pushing on box A with a horizontal pushing force FP = 8.9 N. Here, A has a mass mA = 10.2 kg and B has a mass mB = 7.0 kg. The contact force between the two boxes is FC. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the boxes and the floor is 0.04. (Assume FP acts in the +x direction.)

Which of the following correctly describes what happens when an atomic bomb explodes? small pieces of fissionable material are joined and form a body with a mass greater than the critical mass, the relative number of neutrons escaping decreases, and a chain reaction and explosion result. large pieces of fissionable matter are brought together quickly and form a body with a mass smaller than the critical mass, the relative number of escaping neutrons increases, and a chain reaction and explosion result.
