A 93-kg parent and a 22-kg child meet at the centre of an ice rink. They place their hands together and push

Given
mp = 93 kg
mc = 22 kg
ac = 0.36 m/s^2
Procedure
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{a_c}{a_p}=\frac{m_p}{m_c} \\ a_c=\frac{m_p}{m_c}\cdot a_p \\ a_p=\frac{m_c}{m_p}\cdot a_c \\ a_p=\frac{22}{93}\cdot0.36 \\ \\ a_p=0.085m/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
