Two carts of masses m1=2.00 kg and m2=4.00 kg connected by a cord that passes over a small frictionless pulley. Each cart rolls freely with negligible friction. Calculate the acceleration of the carts and the tension in the cord.

Tension T = 18.3N

acceleration a = 3.25m/s².

Explanation:

The full solution can be found in the attachment below.

The tension force in the string is the same for both masses and they have a common acceleration assuming that the string does not stretch and is massless.

The solution to this question involves the application of newton's second law which states that the vector sum of the forces acting on a body is equal to the mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration of the body in the direction of the force.

In the solution below it is assumed that the net force acts towards the right.

probably not if net force is zero

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.
