1) depends on who has the trolley with the wonky wheel ...

IF, both A & B have exactly the same co-efficient of resistance and inertia, THEN A & B will both move towards each other at the same speed.

2) THE rope exerts force on both and forces same size (of course)

1) If Mr A is lighter than Mr B then Mr A's trolley will be pulled towards b trolley if its otherwise then answer is vice-versa
However if both r of same mass, both the trolleys'll move towards each other (considering same mass of both trolleys)!

2) the rope exerts force on both but which force is bigger depends upon the weights of the Mr a and B!


that it! does it help?!
