Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. A horizontal force is applied to the larger bloc

Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. A horizontal force is applied to the larger block, as shown in the figure. (a) If m1 = 2.3 kg, m2 = 1.2 kg, and F = 3.2 N, find the magnitude of the force between the two blocks. (b) Show that if a force of the same magnitude F is applied to the smaller block but in the opposite direction, the magnitude of the force between the blocks is 2.1 N, which is not the same value calculated in (a). (c) Explain the difference.

love the clarity of this video, was stuck on a problem for 30 minutes which was solved in just a couple through this vid. awesome.

Thank you for this video. I do have a question though, how do we know the acceleration of the two blocks are the same?

Very interesting and a great friend during time pass.

i have a question related to the above question but still don't get how to solve it.

i cant understand why F and F 1on2 are different in magnitude?

very, very poorly explained, and usage of subscripts, or lack thereof, was horrendous.
