Problem

Blocks A (2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg}) and B (3.0 kg3.0\,\text{kg}) are placed in contact on a horizontal surface that can be considered frictionless. A constant horizontal force of 10 N10\,\text{N} is applied to block A, pushing it toward block B so that the blocks move together. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks? a) 5.0 m/s25.0\,\text{m/s}^2 b) 2.0 m/s22.0\,\text{m/s}^2 c) 1.7 m/s21.7\,\text{m/s}^2 d) 1.0 m/s21.0\,\text{m/s}^2
