    Newton's Laws Question: Skateboard Speeds After Release | F=ma Explained

    Newton's third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear F= ma for Jill and F = 3ma for Jack Since force is the same, I know that the magnitude of acceleration of Jill will be three times greater than Jack's. Generally at any given...

    Newton's Laws Question: Skateboard Speeds After Release | F=ma Explained

    Jack and Jill are on skateboards. Jack weighs 3 times heavier than Jill, and is pushing Jill(a horizontal force on Jill's back). Immediately after Jack let's go, what are the speeds they're moving at? (No need to take friction into consideration) F=ma Okay, I do understand that they will be...
