Newton's Second Law of Motion:
Suppose two toy cars are connected to each other by using inelastic wire, and if we pull a toy car, of course, both toy cars start accelerating at the same rate. This acceleration is known as common acceleration, and to provide the same to each toy car, the net force acting on each toy car is directly proportional to the mass of that toy car. Mathematically, we can write:
∑ → F = m → a ∑F→=ma→ where: → F F→ is the force → a a→ is the acceleration m m is the mass

A 6.00 kg block is in contact with a 4.00 kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface. The 6.00 kg block is being pushed by a horizontal 20.0 N force. What is the magnitude of the force that the 6.00 kg block exerts on the 4.00 kg block?
Answer (1 of 4): Since the 6 kg block continuously pushes the 4 kg block, both accelerate at the same rate. The acceleration a is: a = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{20}{(6 + 4)} = 2 m/s^2 Therefore the force F exerted by the 6 kg block on the 4 kg block is: F = ma = (4 kg)(2 m/s^2) = 8 N

Assuming the force is applied along the perpendicular tangent to the abutting block faces (so the force is acting against a 10KG ‘block'), then the force being applied, by definition, is divisible by the relative masses. 60% of the force is 'consumed' by the 6kg block and 40% by the 4 kg block. They will accelerate together at the same rate without any gap between them.
12N moves the 6Kg block and 8N moves the 4Kg block. They'll accelerate at 2m/sec for the duration the force is applied. (20N/10Kg)

Every action has an opposite and equal reaction applies to the point of contact in between blocks.
Friction isn't applicable because the point of contact between blocks is only taken into account.
This means horizontal force F1=F2= 20 N.

Weight doesn't matter in an ideal frictional surface, and the question mentioning “frictionless” seems like an ideal case to me.
Since you didn't specify, there are 2 sets of friction coefficient, block vs block (coefficient BB) and block vs resting surface (coefficient BS), which one is frictionless? Both? Anyways, the resulting force of block-6kg on block-4kg would be 20 N * BB in the same direction as the applied 20 N. It's the reaction force of the same magnitude (Newton's law) against the friction force that block-4kg exerts on block-6kg. If BB is zero (no friction) the result would be zer

A car weighs 15300 N. What is its mass?
This seems like a simple problem, but it lacks additional, crucial data to solve it. Is may seem funny but it is important to know: Is the car on the surface of the Earth? Or is it on the surface of the Moon? Because using Newton’s Universal Gravitation Law, since Earth is bigger than the Moon it will generate a stronger Gravitational field, hence a higher value of gravtiational acceleration.
If we take:
1)The car to be on the surface of the Earth
then the value of g, would be approximately 9.81 m/s^2
Using the formula G=mg
We can arithmetically find that the mass of the car is nearly 1560 kilogram
