Question

Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect anyfriction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the manis 78 kg, and the mass of the woman is63 kg. The woman pushes on the man with aforce of 53 N due east. Determine theacceleration (magnitude and direction) of the following. (a)the man
aman = 12---Select---m/sNkgm/s^2kg · Nkg · m3---Select---due northdue eastdue westdue south

(b)the woman
awom = 45---Select---kgm/s^2kg · mkg · NNm/s6---Select---due northdue westdue eastdue south (a)the man

(b)the woman

Explanation / Answer

   mass of man, m1 = 78 kg    mass of woman, m2 = 63 kg    force on man , F1 = 53 N ( East)    force on woman, F2 = 53 N ( west ) (a) acceleration of man, a1 = F1 / m1 = 0.679 m/s^2 (East) (b) acceleration of woman, a2 = F2 / m2 = 0.8413 m/s^2 ( west)
