- An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m₁ = 514 kg, m₂ = 7.00 x 10² kg, and m3 = 366 kg have blocked a busy road. The rocks are lined up from left to right in the order m₁, m2, and m3. The city calls a local contractor to use a bulldozer to clear the road. The bulldozer applies a constant force to m₁ in order to slide the rocks off the road. Assuming the road is a flat, frictionless surface and the rocks are all in contact, what force, FA, must be applied to m₁ to slowly accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.400 m/s²? Use the value for FA to find the force, F12, exerted by m₁ on m₂. FA = F12 = N Narrow_forwardA billiard ball moving at 5.45 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass.
