I. Block A has a mass of 12 kg and block B has a mass of 8 kg. You push on block A with a 100.0 N force. For parts (a) & (b), assume no friction. (a) What are the accelerations of the blocks? (b) Now the force is turned to the left, and the push becomes a pull. What are the accelerations of the blocks? (c) Now assume a coefficient of kinetic friction of μ = 0.100. What are the block accelerations in parts (a) and (b) in this case?
