Question: ( II ) Two masses are connected by a string as shown in Fig. 3 4 . Mass m A = 4 . 0 k

(II) Two masses are connected by a string as shown in Fig. 34. Mass mA=4.0kg rests on a frictionless incline plane, while mB=5.0kg is initially held at a height of h=0.75m above the floor. (a) If mB is allowed to fall, what will be the resulting acceleration of the masses? (b) If the masses were initially at rest, use the kinematic equations to find their velocity just before mB hits the floor. (c) Use conservation of energy to find the velocity of the masses just before mB hits the floor. You should get the same answer as in part (b).
