Question

so i have a statement:
A father and his seven-year-old daughter are facing each other onice skates. With their hands, they push off against one another.
and it isstated that:

bothfather and daughter experience pushing forces of equalmagnitude
i cant seem to pinpoint a reason for this, force equalsmass times acceleration doesn't it? so wouldn't the father who has greater mass experience thegreater force?
thanks :)

Explanation / Answer

   *   force = mass *acceleration    *   The father who hasmore mass posess less acceleration and the daughter who has lessmass posess          moreacceleration so that the force is same on both    *   Moreover, From Newton'sthird law also we can say that action and reaction are equal andopposite    *   Hence, each exert equalforce on the other in opposite directions
