There are two blocks, masses m₁ and m2, attached by a taut, massless string on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. Mass my is pulled with an acceleration a₁. m2 m1 a1 Which of the following best describes how the acceleration of m₁ (a₁) compares to the acceleration of m₂ (a₂)? a1. O a1 a2: Because of tension in the string, the acceleration of the second block must be higher than the first one. Undetermined: Not knowing the two masses, it is impossible to determine how a2 relates to a1 = a2: Both blocks will move with the same acceleration because they are connected by a taut string. a1 > a2: Because of tension in the string, the second block will have a smaller acceleration than the first one.
