If you are pushing 200 kg of textbooks with acceleration of 2m/s2, how much net force are you exerting on the books? (Fnet=ma) ( There is more than one answer)

200N

100N

400Kg

400N

400 kg. m/s2

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
