Skater 1 has a mass of 45 kg and is at rest. Skater 2 has a mass of 50 kg and is moving slowly at a constant velocity of 3.2 m/s [E]. Skater 3 has a mass of 75 kg and is moving quickly at a constant velocity of 9.6 m/s [E]. Which skater experiences the greater net force? Explain your reasoning

    Explanation:

    Force, F is given by ma where m is the mass of an object and a is acceleration

    Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity per unit time. Since skaters with mass of 75 kg and 50 kg are moving at a constant speed, there is no acceleration hence F=50*0=0 and F=75*0=0

    For skater of 45 kg, he is at rest to mean the initial and final velocitu of the skater is zero hence no acceleration, the force will be 45*0=0

    Therefore, none of the skaters will experience a greater net force.
