If two skaters standing still push against each other, the speed of the first is the same as the speed of the second, and in the opposite direction ONLY if both people have the same mass.
True or False

Respuesta :

Answer:

True!

Explanation:

F = ma (force = mass times acceleration)

The force on each skater will be the same because of Newton's 3rd law...

F (1st skater) = F (2nd skater)

ma (1st skater) = ma (2nd skater)

If the skaters have different masses, they WILL have a different acceleration. Feel free to ask questions if needed.
