A 20 kg monkey holds on to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley and is attached to a 20 kg bunch of bananas. The monkey starts to climb the rope to get the bananas.
a. as the money climbs, do the bananas move up, down, or remain at rest?
b. as the money climbs does the distance between the money and bananas increase, decrease, or remain the same?
c. the monkey let's go of the rope. before reaching the ground he grabs the rope to stop his fall. what do the bananas do?
a:remain at rest
b:remain the same
c:the bananas fall. then rise, then descend to the same level as the monkey
I think those are the answers, but I'm not sure why. thanks for any help!
