Question

1. Describe briefly how the acceleration of the system will be experimentally found. 2. If m2 becomes very large, as compared to mı , what would the acceleration of the system approach? Explain by referencing the appropriate equation. 3. If we increase the total mass of the system, while keeping Am constant, explain carefully the effect on the acceleration. 4. If we increase Am, while keeping the total mass of the system constant, explain carefully the effect on the acceleration. 5. Discuss the significance of the slopes, tround in part 4 above, with reference to Newton's 2nd Law. Calculate the gravitational acceleration from the slope of the graph.

Answer 1

Please consider the aanswer

Acceleration of a system can be experimentally found by measuring the force acting on syatem by acceleration = Force and dividing it Vits mars mass system of the masses bet as consides a om and OM OP. ld end at Fuhi m, tm2 2) Now, F Mpf M2 mit me mi If my y me then → m2 77 1 thus we can neglect elect 1 in the denominator m2 3) Let me 7 m..
