The figure shows two 22.4 kg ice sleds that are placed a short distance apart, one directly behind the other. A 3.78 kg cat initially standing on one sled jumps to the other one and then back to the first. Both jumps are made at a speed of 2.83 m/s relative to the ice. What are the final speeds of (a) the first sled and (b) the other sled?
