Problem 32E
Two skaters collide and grab on to each other on frictionless ice. One of them, of mass 70.0 kg, is moving to the right at 4.00 m/s, while the other, of mass 65.0 kg, is moving to the left at 2.50 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of these skaters just after they collide?
Step-by-Step Solution:
Solution 32E Step 1: Given data: Mass of skater m = 71.0 kg Mass of other skater m = 62.0 kg speed of skater v = 4.0 m/s 1 speed of skater v = 2.50 m/s 2
Step 2 of 2
