Tony has a mass of 50 kg and his friend Sam has a mass of 45 kg assume that both friends push off on the rollerblades with the same force explain which boy will have greater acceleration

Respuesta :

Answer:

Correct answer:  a₂ > a₁

Explanation:

Given:

Tony  mass = m₁ = 50 kg

Sam mass = m₂ = 45 kg

According to Newton's second law, the formula for calculating force is:

F = m · a

In this case we have the same force for both

F = m₁ a₁ = m₂ a₂  => a₁ / a₂ = m₂ / m₁ = 45 / 50 = 9 / 10 = 0.9

a₁ = 0.9 a₂  => a₁ = 90% of a₂ => a₂ > a₁

a₂ > a₁

God is with you!!!
