10. An ice skater with a mass of 65 kg pushes off against a second skater with a mass of 35 kg. Both skaters are initially at rest (a). What is the total momentum of the system after they pushed off? (b). If the larger skater moves off with a speed of 5 m/s, what is the corresponding speed of the smaller skater?

Which of the following statements is/are true? When a ball is thrown upward in air, its momentum and mechanical energy is conserved (ignore air resistance). II. Two blocks of mass 2.0 kg and 4.0 kg are pressed together, compressing a light spring between them. The spring, which has negligible mass, is not fastened to either block. When they are released simultaneously, they both moved freely on a horizontal smooth surface. The block of mass 2.0 kg will have more kinetic energy than the other block of mass 4.0 kg. III. When you ride a bcycle, the direction of the angular velocity of the wheels is to your left IV. A small light ball of mass m are moving to the right with a velocity v and collides with a large heavy ball of mass 100m. After the collision, the small ball bounces back to the left and the large ball moves very slowly to the right. During this collision, the small ball experiences the greater magnitude impulse. I.
