a person standing on a canoe throws a cement block over the side. the action force on the cement block is 60 N. The reaction force is on the person and canoe. Their total mass is 100 kg. What is their acceleration?
Given a person throwing a block standing on a canoe, with a force of 60N and a mass of 100 kg., Acceleration is computed with the formula : acceleration = action force / mass acceleration = 60/100 = .6 m/s squared
