Answer:
(a) Girl acceleration = 0.15 m/s², (b) Sled acceleration = 0.93 m/s²
Explanation:
Given:
M1=Mass of girl = 43 Kg
M2= mass of Sled = 7.1 Kg
Force F= 6.6 N
To Find (a) a1 = girl acceleration (b) a2 = sled acceleration
Solution:
F1 = F2 = F (Newton's 3rd Law)
F=ma (Newton's 2nd Law)
(a) F = M1a1
⇒a1 = F/M1 = 6.6 N / 43 Kg = 0.15 m/s²
(b) a2 = F / M2 = 6.6 N / 7.1 Kg = 0.93 m/s²
