Boxes A and B are in contact on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Box A has mass 21.0 kg and box B has mass 8.0 kg. A horizontal force of 100N is exerted on box A. What is the magnitude of the force that box A exerts on box B?

2.75 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Box A has a mass 21.0 kg and box B has a mass 8.0 kg.

A horizontal force of 100N is exerted on box A.

Let a be the acceleration of the system. Using second law of motion,

Now applying Newton's second law to box B. So,

So, 2.75 N is the force that box A exerts on box B.

the order for strong to weak forces such as

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force

the fundamental forces are those forces that act between to objects or element to make interactions. there are four types of fundamental forces such as strong and weak nuclear forces (due to protons and electrons), electromagnetic force (due to the motion of electrons) and gravitational force (due to orbital movement of the planet). if these forces are arranged on the basis of their maximum strength then the order is

strong nuclear force → electromegnetic force → weak nuclear force → gravitational force
