Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. A horizontal force is applied to one block, as shown below. (a) If m = 1.9 kg, m2 = 1.1 kg, and F = 3.0 N, find the force between the two blocks. N (b) If a force of the same magnitude F is applied to m but in the opposite direction, what is the force between the blocks? It is not the same value calculated in (a). N (c) Explain the difference.
