The ice rink is very crowded, and there are a lot of inexperienced people learning to ice skate there. Tara is originally skating at 4.5 m/s and collides with Sarah who is at rest. After the collision, they hang on to each other in an effort to not fall over. They are no longer watching where they are going and end up running into Millicent who was just standing there. Then they all hang on to each other to avoid falling over. They fall over after 1.5 seconds. How far did the three girls travel before falling over? Assume that all three girls have a mass of about 55 kg.

A high school physics teacher is looking for fun new ways to get his students excited about learning momentum. He decides to try the somewhat dangerous demonstration of sticking a firecracker in an empty soda can and lighting it. After he lights the firecracker, the soda can and firecracker will travel very quickly in opposite directions. The mass of an empty soda can is 13.68 g (according to the first result from Google), and the mass of a small firecracker is 45 g. The teacher estimates that the firecracker should have a speed of 35 m/s. How fast should he expect the soda can to travel? Is this demonstration a good idea?
