Answer:
(a) The value of the ratio m₁/m₂ is 0.581
(b) the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
The acceleration of force applied to M₁, a₁ = 3.10 m/s²
The same force applied to M₂ has acceleration, a₂ = 1.80 m/s²
Let this force = F
According Newton's second law of motion;
F = ma
(a) the value of the ratio m₁/m₂
since the applied force is same in both cases, M₁a₁ = M₂a₂
(b) the acceleration of m₁ and m₂ combined as one object under the action force F
F = ma
Therefore, the acceleration of the combined masses is 1.139 m/s²
