Answer:
Quick action was in this as a thought of he knew he could die from this
The answer is the first one
Elevation would be showing you what height you are at, energy would be like what force your putting into the object.
Because the atoms and molecules all have different properties
I will name block a as Ma=5 kg, block b as Mb=10 kg and mass of the pulley M=3 kg and radius as R. Since the system will accelerate in the direction of the block b because it has greater mass, I will take that direction as positive. Both blocks and the pulley have the same acceleration because the slipping on the pulley is neglected. First, the equations of motion:
Mb*g-Tg=MbαR and
Ta-Ma*g=MaαR,
where Ta and Tb are the tensions of the cord, g=9.81 m/s^2 and α is the angular accereration. Also a=αR where a is the acceleration of the system.
Now the equation of rotational dynamics of a solid body:
(Tb-Ta)R=Iα=(1/2)*M*R^2*α, where (1/2)*M*R^2 is the moment of inertia of a disc.
When we input Tb=Mb*g - Mb*α*R and Ta=Ma*g + Ma*α*R from the first two equations into the third we get: (Mb*g - Mb*α*R - Ma*α*R - Ma*g)*R=(1/2)*M*R^2*α.
We solve for α and get: α=(Mb*g-Ma*g)/((1/2)*MR+Mb*R+Ma*R)=2.97 rad/s^2.
We know that a=α*R and we easily get a=0.4455 m/s^2
