Two equal mass blocks are initially at rest and sitting on a frictionless surface. A hand exerts a force of magnitude \( F \)
Two equal mass blocks are initially at rest and sitting on a frictionless surface. A hand exerts a force of magnitude on block A, which pushes it to the right by a distance . Another hand exerts of force of the same magnitude on block B, which pushes it to the left the same distance . A. Is the sign of the work the hand on the left does on block A positive, negative, or is it zero? Explain B. Is the sign of the work the hand on the right does on block B positive, negative, or is it zero? Explain. C. Consider the blocks and as the system. Is the sign of the net external work done by the hands on the system positive, negative, or is it zero? Explain.
