O Level Physics FORCES

(1) A box with a mass of 2kg and another with 3kg are connected by a cord and pulled by a 10N force along a frictionless surface. Calculate the acceleration of the boxes and the tension in the string. (2) A car with a mass of 800kg traveling at 20m/s experiences a retarding force of 400N when the driving force is reduced to zero. Calculate the deceleration of the car. (3) An object has a weight of 64N on the Moon. Given the gravitational field strengths on Earth and the Moon, calculate the object's weight on Earth.
