Part of the apparatus you will use is shown below. If m, is released the system will accelerate. Bumper Flag mi Motion sensor m2 Air Track Figure 1 Computer Interface Digital Analog Assume the pulley is massless and frictionless, and also ignore frictional forces for Qs 1& 2. 1. Draw a free body diagram for both m, and m2. Draw arrows for each force acting on the masses, and label the forces. Hint: there will be two forces acting on m2 and three on m1. 2. Apply Newton's second law to each mass, eliminate the tension T, and determine the acceleration of the system - show all your work for credit. 3. If the frictional force on m was not negligible, how could you determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, ? Part of the apparatus you will use is shown below.
