1. Determine the Net Force:

* Calculate the difference in weight:

* Weight of 350 g mass = (0.35 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 3.43 N

* Weight of 300 g mass = (0.30 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 N

* Net force = 3.43 N - 2.94 N = 0.49 N

* The net force acts on the total mass:

* Total mass = 0.35 kg + 0.30 kg = 0.65 kg

2. Calculate the Acceleration:

* Use Newton's Second Law: F = ma

* Acceleration (a) = F/m = 0.49 N / 0.65 kg = 0.75 m/s²

3. Determine the Distance Traveled:

* Use the kinematic equation: d = v₀t + (1/2)at²

* Initial velocity (v₀) = 0 (starting from rest)

* Time (t) = 2 seconds

* Acceleration (a) = 0.75 m/s²

* Distance (d) = (0)(2) + (1/2)(0.75 m/s²)(2 s)² = 1.5 meters

Therefore, the masses will travel a distance of 1.5 meters from their rest position in 2 seconds.
