As both the skater pushed each other with a force, skater 1 will acquire greater velocity than skater 2 with heavier mass.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Here we can understand the scenario with the example of a particle collision. When two particles of different masses, one being lighter and the other being heavier, there will be a movement and change in velocities.
Now, when these two particle collide with each other, there will be an equal and opposite thrust or reaction on both the particles. The particle with heavier mass will not be able to acquire more velocity because of its weight whereas the lighter particle will be pushed far away, being less in mass.
We can also say that the heavier particle will exert more force as compared to the lighter one and hence, can easily push it far away. this is all because the force is directly proportional to the mass of the object.
Hence, just like the particle, when two skater try to push each other with a significant amount of force, skater 2 will win to exert more force and therefore, skater 1 will acquire greater velocity as compared to skater 2.
Answer:
when the ball is at rest in his coach's hands.
Explanation:
The forces on the basketball are balanced when the basketball is not experiencing any acceleration. This happens when the ball is in his coach's hand: in fact, at that moment the ball is at rest, so it means that its acceleration is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also mean that the net force on the basketball is zero, so the forces on the ball are balanced:

where F is the net force, m is the mass of the ball and a is the acceleration.

Answer:
The galaxy is moving away from the observer
Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.
So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.
