Two objects, object X and object Y, are held together by a light string and are released from rest near a planet’s surface in the orientation that is shown in the figure. Object X has a greater mass than object Y. A graph of the acceleration as a function of time for the system’s center of mass is shown for the 4s. The positive direction is considered to be upward. How does the speed of object X vx compare to that of the system’s speed vs after the objects have fallen for 4s ?
