Final answer:
Without information about the spring forces, it is impossible to determine the acceleration of the blocks after they are released. More data, such as the spring constants and the amount of compression, is necessary to apply Newton's second law and calculate acceleration.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the acceleration of the blocks after they are released, we need to consider Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (a = F/m). Since the question does not provide information about the forces involved, specifically the spring force, we cannot calculate the acceleration without making assumptions. However, typically in such problems, the springs would push each block with a force based on Hooke's law (F = -kx), where k is the spring constant and x is the compression, and each block would then experience acceleration based on its individual mass. But without such details, it's impossible to give a definitive answer.
If we assume the force applied by the spring on each block is the same, the acceleration of each block would be different due to their different masses. Considering that the surface is frictionless, the net force acting on each block would merely be the force exerted by the spring. Nonetheless, since the springs' force constants and compressions are not given, we cannot determine the net force, and therefore, cannot calculate the acceleration without additional information.
