Atwood machine question: (When M1 and M2 are equal) explain what happens when one side is pulled down and released (while still in motion)? Explain qualitatively what happens after releasing the mass. Do they continue moving? Do they speed up? Slow down? Explain this result. Use appropriate terminology (velocity, acceleration) to compare the motion of each set of washers.
