Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the

man is 95 kg, and the mass of the woman is 51 kg. The woman pushes on the man with a force of 60 N due east. Determine the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of (a) the man and (b) the woman

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s²  (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁         ⇒      60 N = 95 Kg*a₁    

⇒  a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s²  (⇒)  East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂         ⇒      60 N = -51 Kg*a₂    

⇒  a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar,  F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

f = 0.3\times108\times9.8

or

f = 317.52N

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

F_{Net}= F-f

Substituting the values in the equation we get

 F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N

or

F_{Net}= 216.48

also,

 

F_{Net}= M\timesacceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe=\frac{F_{Net}}{M}

or

 acceleration of the safe=\frac{216.48}{108}

or

 

acceleration of the safe=2.00 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be  2.00 m/s²

Q:-What is speed????​
Margarita [4]

Explanation:

In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of the rate of change of its position with time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity.

SI unit: m/s, m s−1

s=d/t
