Physics question concerning a Modified Atwood Machine?

On a modified atwood machine (such as this one: http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys311/workshops/w5b… suppose the hanging mass is m2 = 254 g and the mass of the cart is m1 = 1205 g. Assume there is no friction anywhere in the system, and the system starts at rest. Use g = 9.81 m/s2. a) Find the acceleration of the system. m/s2 b) Find the tension in the string. N c) If the track has length L = 2.02 m, find vf, the speed of the cart just before it hits the barrier. m/si know you have to use Vf^2= Vi^2 + 2ad for the third question, but how do you find the answer to questions a and b?

On the planet of Earth,g=9.81m/sec^2 |m1-m2|g/(m1+m2)=a D=0.1=1/2(a)(1)^2,a=0.2 m/sec^2 |1.7-m2|g/1.7+m2=0.2 |1.7-m2|g=0.34+0.2m2 |1.7-m2|g=0.34+0.2m2 If 1.7g-m2g=0.34+0.2m2 m2=1.632kg If m2g-1.7g=0.34+0.2m2 m2=1.77kg God bless you.... Show More
