Question

two ice - skaters push against each other (see image below). the skater on the left has a mass of 70.0 kg and the skater on the right has a mass of 90.0 kg. if the skater on the left experiences a force of 250 n, how many newtons of force is experienced by the skater on the right? drag & drop the answer 250 n 194 n cant be determined. 321 n note: use ctrl+d to drag the option via keyboard two ice - skaters push against each other (see image below).

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Newton's third - law

According to Newton's third - law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the two skaters push against each other, the force exerted by the left - hand skater on the right - hand skater is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the right - hand skater on the left - hand skater.

Answer:

250 N
