Nina and Jon are practicing an ice skating routine. Nina is standing still. Jon, who is twice as heavy as Nina, skates toward her, pushing Nina away with force f. Assuming the system is closed, which statement is correct about this system?(1 point) Responses Nina experiences a force equal to 2f . Nina experiences a force equal to 2 f. Nina experiences a force equal to f2 . Nina experiences a force equal to f over 2. Nina experiences a force equal to f . Nina experiences a force equal to f. Nina experiences a force equal to f2 .

Answer 1

In this scenario, when Jon skates toward Nina and pushes her away with a force \( f \), according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if Jon exerts a force \( f \) on Nina, she will experience an equal force in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the correct statement about this system is:

Nina experiences a force equal to \( f \).
