Mr. Hoffman and his 8 year-old daughter go ice skating, and they both slip and fall. He hits the ice with much more force, and this law explains why he gets a bigger bruise from the force of the ice hitting his knee.

Two friends are ice skating, and shove each other in opposite directions with an equal amount of force. They both accelerate equally away from each other because they have _____________.
What is equal mass and/or inertia?
400
According to Newton's 2nd Law, equal force applied to objects of equal mass will cause this to happen.
What is equal acceleration?
