1 Energy - Unit 5.2B- Problem 5.1B m 2 Masses m 1 (0.3 kg) and m 2 (0.8 kg) are connected by a massless string which passes over a massless pulley. If the masses are released from rest, find the speed of the masses at the instant that m 2 has moved a distance of 0.4 m. m Using the language of energy, describe in a single sentence the energy conversion process as the two masses move from their initial positions to the positions of interest in the problem. m 2 m 1 Workbook for Introductory Mechanics Problem-Solving Copyright by Daniel M.
