Perliminary Questions: 1) No motion at all because each will feel the same force downwards thus having a balanced force or no net force which would mean that there would be no movement according to newton's first law 2) Acceleration would increase if more mass was added to one side I believe that if the same mass is increased from both sides then the acceleration wil stay the same 3) They are both feeling the same forces 4) DATA TABLE ANALYSIS: 1) See table 2) See table 3) The relationship between the change in mass and the acceleration is linear 4) The relationship between the total mass and the acceleration is quadratic

4) As the mass increases to one side the acceleration increases. As the total mass increases to both sides equally, then the acceleration decreases and reaches an limit.
