Ch 07: Newton's Third Law
Chapter 7, Problem 7
A 1000 kg car is pushing an out-of-gear 2000 kg truck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push horizontally against the ground with a force of 4500 N. Rolling friction can be neglected. (a) What is the magnitude of the force of the car on the truck?

A large box of mass M is moving on a horizontal surface at speed v₀. A small box of mass m sits on top of the large box. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the two boxes are μₛ and μₖ, respectively. Find an expression for the shortest distance dₘᵢₙ in which the large box can stop without the small box slipping.
