Question 57

Multiple Choice

A tractor T is pulling two trailers, M1 and M2, with a constant acceleration. T has a mass of 200 kg, M1 has a mass of 100 kg, and M2 has a mass of 150 kg. If the forward acceleration is 0.60 m/s2, and air resistance is negligible, then the horizontal force on M2 due to the attachment to M1 is A tractor T is pulling two trailers, M<sub>1</sub> and M<sub>2</sub>, with a constant acceleration.
