If you free the cork in a highly pressurized champagne bottle, the resulting launch ofthe cork will (in principle) cause the bottle to recoil. A filled champagne bottle has a mass of 1.7 kg. The cork has a mass of 7.3 g and is launched at 20 m/s. If the bottle could move freely, with what speed would it recoil? Is this a speed you are likely to notice?

Two figure skaters are coasting in the same direction, with the leading skater moving at 5.5 m/s and the trailing skating moving at 6.2 m/s. When the trailing skater catches up with the leading skater, he picks her up without applying any horizontal forces on his skates. If the trailing skater is 50 heavier than the 50-kg leading skater, what is their speed after he picks her up?
