**Problem Description:**

The 1.0 kg block in Figure 1 is tied to the wall with a rope. It sits on top of the 2.0 kg block. The lower block is pulled to the right with a tension force of 20 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction at both the lower and upper surfaces of the 2.0 kg block is \( \mu_k = 0.39 \).

For general problem-solving tips and strategies for this topic, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution on the topic of a Car on a rolling board.

**Questions:**

1. **Tension in the Rope:**
   - What is the tension in the rope holding the 1.0 kg block to the wall?
   - **Express your answer with the appropriate units:**
     - **Answer:** 3.8 N
     - **Outcome:** Correct
       - **Feedback:** Here we learn how to calculate the kinetic friction force.

2. **Acceleration of the 2.0 kg Block:**
   - What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block?
   - **Express your answer with the appropriate units:**
     - **Outcome:** Incorrect; Try Again

**Figure Description:**

- The diagram shows two blocks stacked vertically. 
  - The top block is labeled as 1.0 kg.
  - The bottom block is labeled as 2.0 kg.
- A rope connects the top block to the wall.
- A horizontal force of 20 N is applied to the right on the bottom block.

This setup is used to explore concepts related to tension, friction, and acceleration in physics.
