Problem

Blocks A (1 kg1\,\text{kg}) and B (2 kg2\,\text{kg}) are in contact on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 6 N6\,\text{N} is applied on A towards B. a. (i) Write the pair of forces that A and B exert on each other according to Newton’s third law, indicating their directions. b. (ii) If A and B are treated as a single system, will the forces identified in (i) affect the acceleration of the system? Give a reason for your answer.
