None of these alone is equal to m1a by itself and is not the force accelerating m1.there is no individual force equal to m1a to be "transmitted" or shared. The m1 have different interactions than m2 so it is natural to be acted by different forces. | |
| Oct 26, 2023 at 4:24 | comment | added | Atticus Waters | I'll put it this way: m1 is accelerated by a force m1a then it SHOULD pull along with it m2 with the exact same force shouldn't it? There's an obvious reason for it to know that it should do it and that is m2 is attached to m1 which is in contact with the original force when m1 is pulled along with m1a the m2a is attached to it and it pulls m2 with the same acceleration but not the same Force!! I asked my professor and he said it's because m1 has it's own inertia and that's why force drops | |
