Answer:

Acceleration of the boy a₁:

a_{1} = 1.87 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply Newton's second law to the boy and the girl:

F = m*a (Formula 1)

F : Force in Newtons (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Nomenclature

m₁ : boy mass

m₂ :  girl mass

a₁ : boy acceleration

a₂ :  girl acceleration

F₁ : boy acceleration

F₂ :  girl acceleration

Known data

m₁ =  57 kg

m₂ =  41  kg

a₂ = 2.6 m/s²

Problem development

We apply to Newton's third law of action and reaction, then:

F₁ = F₂ , We apply the formula (1):

m₁*a₁ = m₂*a₂

a_{1} = \frac{m_{2}* a_{2} }{m_{1} }

a_{1} = \frac{41* 2.6 }{ 57 }

a_{1} = 1.87 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

The time required to produce one cycle of a wave is known as the waves
eimsori [14]
The time described above is known as the waves Period.
The time which it takes for a particle to complete one full cycle is known as the period. Period is normally measured in seconds. Frequency on the other hand is the number of cycles which are completed in a given period of time e.g a second. periodic time T is given by reciprocal of frequency (1/f).
