Pre Lab Questions: 1 . !\\.) I would expect no motion to occur if two objects of equal mass are suspended from either end of a string passing over a light pulley. This is because both the forces and masses are balanced and equal If we move the mass from one side to another, keeping the total mass constant I would expect the acceleration to move in the direction of the heavier mass. If we gradually increase the mass of both sides, keeping the difference in mass constant, I would expect the acceleration to be slower because of the inverse relationship between mass and acceleration that states tat when mass is increased, acceleration is decreased. The two masses have the same acceleration because the force and mass are the same and according to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, since both force and mass are the same so is the acceleration.
