Question

two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are connected by a light spring on a smooth horizontal surface the two masses are pulled apart and then released prove that the ratio of their acceleration is inversely proportional to their masses

Answer 1

the mass of the two bodies try to be at that expanded position due to inertia and the acceleration is in the opposite direction as it contracts

Answer 2

Answer:

F1 + f2 = 0

m1a1 + m2a2 =0

A1/A2 = -m1/m2
