Two experiments are performed. In (A), an 18.0-N force pushes horizontally on a 2.00-kg block that then pushes on a 4.00-kg block. In (B), an 18.0-N force pushes on a 4.00-kg block that then pushes on a 2.00-kg block. Which statement is correct?
a.
The acceleration is 3.00 m/s2 in both (A) and (B).
b.
The acceleration is 4.50 m/s2 in both (A) and (B).
c.
The acceleration is 6.00 m/s2 in both (A) and (B).
d.
The acceleration is 9.00 m/s2 in both (A) and (B).
e.
The 2.00-kg block has a 9.00 m/s2 acceleration. The 4.00-kg block has a 4.50 m/s2 acceleration.

The electromagnetic force between two charged particles is much greater than the strength of gravity between them, no matter how far apart they are
Nevertheless, it is gravity, rather than the electromagnetic force, that dominates the universe on large scales. Briefly explain why.
