Two ice skaters are gliding together along the ice, both moving at the same, constant velocity. They are sliding without exerting a force meaning you can neglect any friction. The first skater (the one in the back) as a mass M 1. The second skater (the one in front) has a mass M 2. As they are sliding with an initial speed v i, the first skater pushes the second skater directly forward in the direction they are moving. After...

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass = 65.0 kg) and Rebecca (mass = 45.0 kg) are practicing on the ice. Daniel stops to tie his lace, and while at rest he is struck by Rebecca, who is moving 12.0 m/s before she collides with him. After the collision, Rebecca is moving forward at 8.50 m/s at a 53 degree angle with respect to her initial direction. What is the velocity vector (magnitude and direction, or x- and y-components) of Daniel after...
