Application of Newton's Laws

......
When a 20kg child steps off a 3.0kg stationary skateboard with an acceleration of 0.5m/s^2, with what acceleration will the skateboard travel in the opposite direction?

-
Use f=ma

The force the child puts stepping off is 20*.5 = 10

Then the force on the skateboard is equal
F = ma-> a=f/a

and opposite so the acceleration is
10/3 =.3

Since the force is opposing the child it would accelerate n the opposite direction
