Physics With Swag

I, as supreme emperor of the universe, have decided that this week's post will be dedicated to revealing one (of many) of my physics flaws... such as Newton's 3rd law. Well not exactly the third law, but applications of it. Ie the problems where you have blocks next to each other, a Force F pushes on one block and you have to find the force of Block 2 one Block 1, etc... For some reason, I could never get these right, which, to put it mildly, was really annoying. Especially since I could get the ones with strings in between them. Anyways, I seem to have figured out my problem (at least I hope so). Thanks to this week's lessons on dynamics, I have discovered that in these cases, the acceleration of all the blocks will be the same, so if they are different masses, so will the forces (Right? Please tell me that's correct...). To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why I didn't figure this out sooner, but (if it's correct) it should make dynamics easier for moi. Either way, I like the fact that we're learning about drag, cause it applies a lot to running, so maybe we can go more in depth in class if we have time? Awesome. Swag Out.
