Randall D. Knight β Interactions and Potential Energy: Problem 49
Two blocks with masses \(m_A\) and \(m_B\) are connected by a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley. Block B, which is more massive than block A, is released from height \(h\) and falls. a. Write an expression for the speed of the blocks just as block B reaches the ground. b. A 1.0 kg block and a 2.0 kg block are connected by a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley. The impact speed of the heavier block, after falling, is 1.8 m/s. From how high did it fall?
