Masses of 5 kg and 6 kg are suspended from opposite sides of a light frictionless pulley and are released.

What will be the net force on the 2-mass system and what will be the magnitude and direction of its acceleration?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

F_a=m*a

= 6kg*9.81m/s^2

= 58.86 N

F_b=m*a

= 49.05 N

F_net = 9.81N

F_net = m*a

a= F_net/m

= 9.81N/11kg

= 0.89 m/s^2

Direction: -y direction

If you give the system a push so that at the instant of release the 5 kg object is descending at 1.8 meters / second, what will be the speed and direction of

motion of the 5 kg mass 1 second later?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

3.6 m/s in the -y direction

@&

Velocity is changing at rate .89 m/s^2. It won't change by 3.6 m/s in 1 second. The downward speed of the 5 kg object won't increase.

*@

&&&&

v = 1.8 m/s

F = m*a

a = (9.81N) / 11kg

= 0.89 m/s^2

vf = v0 + a * `dt

= -1.8m/s + 0.89*1s

= -0.91 m/s

Speed is 0.91 m/s direction is descending

&&&&

During the first second, are the velocity and acceleration of the system in the same direction or in opposite directions, and does the system slow down or speed up?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

Velocity and acceleration are in the same direction.

The system speeds up at a constant acceleration
