Kevin and Kisha are ice skating. Kisha has a mass of 60 kg, and Kevin has a mass of 45 kg. As they face each
other, Kevin pushes off Kisha with a force of 54 N. Assume the friction between the skaters and the ice is
negligible.

Determine the magnitude of Kevin's acceleration.
Write your answer to two significant figures.
m/s
m

Respuesta :

If Kevin with mass 45kg pushes Kisha with a force of 54N, the magnitude of Kevin's acceleration is 1.2 m/s²

Kisha's mass = 60 kg

Kevin's mass = 45 kg

Kevin pushes off Kisha with a force of 54 N

Since it was Kevin that pushed Kisha, and the required force is 54N, we can look for Kevin's acceleration using the equation below

F  =  ma

The considered mass is Kevin's mass

54   =  45a

a   =   54/45

a   =    1.2 m/s²

The magnitude of Kevin's acceleration is 1.2 m/s²
