Forces come in pairs: Newton’s third law

(a) A 50-kg skater initially at rest throws a 4-kg medicine ball horizontally. Describe what happens to the skater and to the ball. (b) Estimate the acceleration of the ball during the throw and of the skater using a reasonable value for the force that a skater can exert on the medicine ball. (c) The skater moving to the right catches the ball moving to the left. After the catch, both objects move to the right. Draw force diagrams for the skater and for the ball while the ball is being caught.
