Two ice skaters, with masses of 40 kg and 85 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 40 s, how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?

Three ice skaters meet at the center of a rink and each stands at rest facing the center, within arm's reach of the other two. On a signal, each skater pushes himself away from the other two across the frictionless ice. After the push, skater A with mass mA = 75.0 kg moves in the negative y-direction at 4.00 m/s and skater B with mass mB = 70.0 kg moves in the negative x-direction at 2.00 m/s. Find the x-...

Alice and Ben are standing in the middle of an ice rink without any ice skates. To reach the edge of the rink, they decide that Alice will push off of Ben, causing them both to slide along the ice in opposite directions. Alice has a mass of 60 kg, and Ben has a mass of 80 kg. If Alice pushes on Ben with a force of 150 N, what is the acceleration that they each feel?

Two ice skaters hold hands and rotate, making one revolution in 2.47 s. Their masses are 60.0 kg and 73.0 kg, and they are separated by 1.00 m. Find the angular momentum of the system about their center of mass. If the skaters pull towards each other and decrease their separation to 0.50 m, what is the new period of rotation about the center of mass?
