Two figure skaters, one weighing 675 N and the other 700 N, push off against each other on very smooth ice.
(A) If the heavier skater travels at 1.40 m/s, how fast will the lighter one travel?
(B) How much kinetic energy is "created" during the skaters' maneuvers?
(C) Where does this energy come from?
Step by Step Solution
There are 3 Steps involved in it
Step: 1
SOLUTION A To find the speed of the lighter skater we can use the principle of conservation of momentum Since the two skaters are pushing off against ...
