Answer:

0 m/s²

Explanation:

Since each skater pushes the other with a force of 70 N, according to Newton's third law, there is an equal reaction and thus the other pushes back with a force of 70 N in the other direction, so we have forces of +70N and -70 N respectively. So, the net force on each skateboarder is F = + 70 N + (-70 N) = + 70 N - 70 N = 0 N.

Since force, F = ma where a = acceleration and m = mass,

a = F/m.

So, since for each skater, F = 0N,

a = 0 N/m

= 0 m/s²

So, the acceleration of each skater is 0 m/s²

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution. By definition is defined as:

$\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}$
