Hi natnat_nuts, welcome to PF.
what are the relevant equations you have to use to solve this problem?
Show your attempts. Draw the free body diagram of each mass.
 
my teacher gave us nothing in particular . . . that's why it's difficult. we could use Newton's second law, kinematics, work-kinetic energy theorem etc since we have discussed those already.
