Homework Statement



Two astronauts are floating in space. Astronaut A's mass is 1.89 times greater as that of astronaut B. IF astronaut A pushes astronaut B, what is the ration of their accelerations, Ab/Aa.


Homework Equations


F=ma
MaAa=MbAb (M is the mass, A is acceleration)


The Attempt at a Solution


1.89/1 to get the ratio. Just used the formulas
