Hi we started this new chapter about the 3 law of newton
the exercice is : Two hockey players are standing motionless on the ice rink. At some point, the player on the left (L) pushes the player on the right (R) with a force of 60N. Calculate the acceleration of each player if mL = 80kg and mR = 95kg. Friction will be neglected
I don't know what to do actually

- Balancing carefully, three boys inch out onto a horizontal tree branch above a pond, each planning to dive in separately. The third boy in line notices that the branch is barely strong enough to support them. He decides to jump straight up and land back on the branch to break it, spilling all three into the pond. When he starts to carry out his plan, at what precise moment does the branch break? Explain. Suggestion: Pretend to be the third boy and imitate what he does in slow motion. If you are still unsure, stand on a bathroom scale and repeat the suggestion.arrow_forwardA weight lifter stands on a bathroom scale.

A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest at h = 0.500 m above the surface of a table, at the top of a = 30.0 incline as shown in Figure P5.101.

(a) Determine the acceleration of the block as it slides down the incline, (b) What is the velocity of the block as it leaves the incline? (c) How far from the table will the block hit the floor? (d) What time interval elapses between when the block is released and when it hits the floor? (e) Does the mass of the block affect any of the above calculations?arrow_forward
