Batman (mass 85 kg) and Superman (mass 65 kg) are standing on some frictionless ice and are both initially at rest. They are holding opposite ends of a massless rope, which has a length of 25 meters. They begin to move towards each other by pulling along the rope, hand over hand. The tension in the rope is a constant 250 Newtons throughout their motion. For this problem, use a coordinate system where x = 0 is Batman’s initial position and x = 25 m is Superman’s initial position. (c) Draw a free body diagrams for Batman and Superman. (d)Find the magnitude and direction of Batman’s acceleration. (e)Find the magnitude and direction of Superman’s acceleration. (f) At what position does Batman meet Superman? Note: need drawing for solution
