Two objects A and B with masses 10.4 kg and 4.6 kg respectively attached to two ends of a light cord that passes a very light, fixed pulley. The system is released from rest so that A and B move vertically. a/ Use the energy consideration to find the velocity of A and B after they have moved 1.2 m.
b/ Compute the tension on each end of the cord.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
