Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the man is 81 kg, and the mass of the woman is 49 kg. The woman pushes on the man with a force of 46 N due east. Determine the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the following. (a)the man aman = (b)the woman awoman =

Two ice skaters, with masses of 71 kg and49 kg , stand facing each other on a 11-m-widefrozen river. The skaters push off against each other, glide backward straight toward the river's edges, and reach the edges at exactly the same time. How far did the 71 kg skater glide?

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 +2.7 m/s relative to the ice. The mass of the woman is 50 kg, and the mass of the man is 81 kg. Assuming that the speed of light is 4.4 m/s, so that the relativistic momentum must be used, find the recoil velocity of...

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...

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?

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-...

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-...
