Two ice boats (one of mass m, one of mass 2m) hold a race on a frictionless, horizontal, frozen lake. Bath ice boats start at rest, and the wind exerts the same constant force on both iceboats. After moving a same distance s, which iceboat crosses the finish line with a quicker speed v

    They both cross the finish line with the same kinetic energy

    Explanation:

    Same force, same displacement, so same KE at the location of the finish line. They don't cross the line at the same time, but that was not the question!

    ∆KA = (mA/2) vF, A2

    ∆KA=∆KBso vF, B/vF, A = (MA/MB) 1/2∆KB = (mB/2) vF, B2

    Lighter boat goes faster so reaches finish line 1st
