Doesn't stretch; same acceleration rate, opposite directions
Same throughout the string
Tension is same on both sides of pulley
Massless and frictionless
Gravity (weight) down and tension up
F=maF = maF=ma for each body separately
Same magnitude but opposite directions
Add or subtract equations to eliminate one variable, solve simultaneously
Tension shouldn't be negative; check direction makes sense
Separate diagrams for each object showing tension, weight, forces
Both bodies share same tension in string
