Tracy stands on a skateboard and tosses her backpack to her friend who is standing in front of her then the acceleration Tracy experiences less than the acceleration of the backpack because she has a greater mass. Therefore the correct option is A.
What is Newton's second law?
Newton's Second Law states that The resultant force acting on an object is proportional to the rate of change of momentum.
The mathematical expression for Newton's second law is as follows
F = m*a
where F represents the force applied
m is the mass of the object
a is the acceleration of the object
As we know that force depends both on the mass and the acceleration of the object if the force applied to the body is the same the body having higher mass experience less amount of acceleration.
