ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Consider two ice skater initially at rest pushing them each other in an ice rink. The speed of the two persons and mass of one person are given. We need to find the mass of another person.
The mass of the person 1 m1 = 45 kg
The speed of the person 1 v1 = 0.62 m/s
The speed of the person 2 v2 = 0.89 m/s
