This used to confuse the hell out of me too! What you have to do is think of the dots as stuck in a vertical plane. The dots cannot move in a horizontal direction, only a vertical one. THE DOTS CANNOT MOVE. ONLY THE WAVE.

So for example since the wave is moving towards the right, dot A will be going downwards.
The answer to this question would be C, as it is moving upwards with maximum speed.

D will only move slightly upwards.

Hope you understood that ^_^

well its simple tenergy possesed in this case is due to the motion.....
the masses experiences velocity v due to difference btw the magnitude of both mases
enery posessed due to motion is 1/2 mv^2
m=(m1-m2)

but isn't that the energy possessed by the system? the question asks for the energy provided by the motor...

enery provided by motor is used in making mases move...
energy provided =energy used in producing v

Dude Sparten your answer is wrong! its D not B, hassam...
Reread the question carefully, he is asking for the rate at which energy is provided. Energy over time is Power..
Another formula for power is Force*Speed... force =ma
acceleration here is g... So mgv....but we need the change in mass, so the answer is (m1-m2)gv....which is D
if u want to make sure about the answer, check out nov2010 varient 1, see the marksceme

100 % correct

y we need difference in mass........it just doesnt sticks in ma mind
because the two masses are moving in different direction so u will have to find the difference in weights, just like acceleration and friction
