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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : 9.81N ,.1667
• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
• 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?
