In this last week of Physics, we learned more about tensions and pulleys. Pulleys are objects that changes the direction of a force. In this picture, although there are no pulleys, there is a tension. In this picture, my dad's Blazer is pulling my uncle's tow-truck with a string. In class I have learned the saying "1 string, 1 tension". This means that if there's 1 string, there's 1, equal tension. That means that the tension pulling on my dad's blazer and the tension pulling on my uncle's tow truck are the same, equal tension. Also, if I wanted to find the acceleration of either vehicle, I would just find the acceleration of "da whole ting" because they are the same.
