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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
5kg*9.8m/s/s=49kg*m/s/s,
6kg*9.8m/s/s=58.8kg*m/s/s,
58.8N-49N=9.8N,
(9.8kg*m/s/s)/(5kg+6kg)=.89m/s/s down on the 6kg side.

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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
I think the object will still be travelling in the 5 kg direction but it will have slowed to .9m/s^2 because of the positive acceleration from the 6 kg side.

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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
During the first second velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions and the system will slow down.
