Question
A 65.0 - kg person throws a 0.045 0 - kg snowball forward
with a ground speed of 30.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass
of 60.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates.
The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of
2.50 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are
the velocities of the two people after the snowball is
exchanged? Disregard friction between the skates and the ice.

On a signal, each skater pushes themselves away fromthe other two across the frictionless ice. After the push, Skater A with mass 80 kg moves in thenegative y-direction at 3.5 m/s and skater B with mass 75 kg moves in the negative x-direction at4 m/s. Find the x- and y-components of the 90 kg Skater C’s velocity after the push. Assume abirds-eye view of the situation for your coordinates.arrow_forward
