A blackbody is an ideal system that

A) absorbs 100% of the light incident upon it, but cannot emit light of its own (i.e., a "black" body).
B) emits 100% of the light it generates, but cannot absorb radiation of its own.
C) either absorbs 100% of the light incident upon it, or emits 100% of the radiation it generates.
D) absorbs 50% of the light incident upon it, and emits 50% of the radiation it generates.

Two blocks are accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface as shown. Frictional forces keep the two blocks from sliding relative to each other, and the two move with the same acceleration. If F = 1.2 N and M = 1.0 kg, what is the horizontal component (frictional force) of the force of the small block on the large block?
