| Apr 17, 2017 at 21:53 | comment | added | Jay N | @blue Energy conservation and momentum conservation will give the same result. Differentiating twice equation 1 for one more relation.(note: rate of change of acceleration will be zero for both) Also try rewriting equation one with v of mass m in form of V(x) and V(y) and use constraints relation. | |

| Apr 17, 2017 at 21:11 | comment | added | user139621 | If those two equations are not sufficient then what other equation do we need in addition to them? (I like your method of solution using forces/acceleration but I wan't to do it using the energy approach). | |
| Apr 17, 2017 at 21:08 | comment | added | Jay N | No, without putting values of m & M, the equation 1 & 2 are not sufficient. | |
| Apr 17, 2017 at 21:02 | comment | added | user139621 | Ok, I see! In that case are my two equations sufficient to find $dv_2/dt$ without putting any values for $m$ and $M$. I think there are too many variables. Will they all get eliminated? | |
| Apr 17, 2017 at 20:59 | comment | added | Jay N | Differentiate h(t) twice for acceleration. Or the given eqn is of form x-x0 = ut +(0.5)at^2(Displacement in uniform accelerated motion) | |
