Question 4 0/ 2 pts There are two blocks, masses m1 and m2, attached by a taunt, massless string on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. Mass m is pulled with an acceleration a1. a1 m2 m1 ructure.com/courses/26853/quizzes/66425 Pre-Lab 06: The Homework: S1708-PHYS-2090 Gen Phys Lab I-012 Explain your reasoning for determining how a2 compares to a1 from the previous question Your Answer: The acceration for the pull on m1 in turn is equally distributed to m2 since the table is frictionless and they are connected. The same forces pulling on m1 are used to pull m2 wlo any forces against them. nothing to do with friction and they have different forces acting on them.

Explanation / Answer

since there are no frictional forces and neglecting masses of the string,the system moves with same accelaration

if a1 is the accelaration of mass m1,then accelaration of the mass m2 is a2 = a1,because they are moving with same accelaration as a single system,

hence
a2 = a1
