Starting from rest, two skaters "push off" against each other on smooth level ice, where friction is negligible. One is a woman and one is a man. The woman moves away with a velocity of +1.6 m/s relative to the ice. The mass of the woman is 59 kg, and the mass of the man is 88 kg. Assuming that the speed of light is 2.0 m/s, so that the relativistic momentum must be used, find the recoil velocity of the man relative to the ice. (Hint: This problem is similar to Example 6 in Chapter7.)

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 = 80.0 kg moves in the negative y-direction at 4.00 m/s and skater B with mass mB = 95.0 kg moves in the negative x-direction at 3.50 m/s. Find the x-...

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-...

Two ice skaters stand at rest in the center of an ice rink. When they push off against one another the 45-kg skater acquires a speed of 0.68 m/s. If the speed of the other skater is 0.88 m/s, what is this skater's mass?

5. A man of mass 70 kg and a boy of mass 35 kg are standing together (not moving) on a smooth ice surface for which friction is negligible. They push each other apart and the man moves away with speed of 0.3 m/s relative to the ice. (a) What is their total momentum before pushing each other? (b) Find the velocity of the boy after pushing (c) Find the final kinetic energy of the man-boy system (= total kinetic...

Two figure skaters stand facing each other on the ice. The woman, who has a mass of 50 kg, pushes against the man, who has a mass of 100 kg, with 100 N of force. What happens? What are the accelerations of each? (Ignore friction)

Two skaters stand on friction-less ice. Ricky is more massive than Lucy. Ricky pushes off from Lucy and they move away from each other. Which statement below is most correct? HINT: The total momentum of the system is zero before they push off, so the total momentum after the push must also be zero. Compare the two masses and the first hint statement and think about what this does to the velocities. CHOOSE ONE: A) Ricky and Lucy will have...

. Two skaters each of mass 50.0 kg approach each other along parallel paths separated by 3.00 m. they have opposite velocities of 1.40 m/s each. One skater holds the end of a long pole of negligible mass, and the other skater grabs the other end of it as she passes. Assume the ice provides a frictionless surface. (a) Describe quantitatively the motion of the skaters after they have become connected by the pole. (b) Calculate the kinetic energy of...
