Two ice skaters, with masses of 50 kg and 75 kg, are at the center of a 60-m-diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 20 s, how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?
Two ice skaters, starting from rest, hold onto the ends of a 10m pole. A 40-kig player is at one end of the pole and a 60-kg player is at the other end. The players then start pulling themselves themselves along the pole towards each other while sliding without friction on the ice. If the two skaters continue past each other after they meet, what distance will the 60-kg player have moved with respect to the ice when the skaters have exchanged positions with respect to each other? Please clearly explain each step. I know it has something to do with the center of mass not moving. But why does the center of mass not move? Please explain.
Two people on skates, one with a mass of 60 kg and the other with a mass of 40 kg, stand on ice (frictionless surface) holding a 10 m pole (negligible mass). The skaters pull themselves from the end of the pole until they meet. How far does the 40 kg skater move.
