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

the answer is neither ball has a charge.

because if they were both positively charged, they will repel each other.

if they were positively and negatively charged, they will seek.

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
