Two ice skaters (m = 50kg) are standing a distance apart from one another. One skater throws a ball (m = 5kg) at a speed of 10 m/s to the other skater.
What is the relative velocity between the skaters after the ball is caught?
a. 0.5 m/s
b. 1 m/s
c. 1.9 m/s
From before the ball is thrown to after the ball is caught, what happens to kinetic energy?
a. Increases
b. Decreases
c. Kinetic energy does not change
This is an exam question from my Physics final and I said 1.9 m/s and increases. Just wondering if I was correct?

During a pair ice skating, a 60-kg female ice skater leaps into the air and is caught by her 70-kg partner who was stationary. a. Assuming negligible friction on ice what is the velocity of the pair if the horizontal velocity of the female skater right before she was caught in the air was 5 m/s? b. What is the total KE before she was caught? What is the total KE after she was caught? c. Knowing that the skaters...

A figure skater is spinning on frictionless ice. Treat the figure skater as a sphere with radius R=.4m and mass M=60kg. The skater is holding onto a massless string attached to a weighted ball of m=10kg. The skater is initially spinning at an angular speed w0 of 2pi radians per second (1 rev/s) with a sting radius of r=1m. Moment of inertia for a sphere is I=(2/5)MR^2. 1.) What is the initial total rotational inertia of the skater and ball?...
Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 65 kg) and Rebecca (mass 45 kg), are practicing.
Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 65 kg) and Rebecca (mass 45 kg), are practicing. Daniel is initially at rest when struck by Rebecca moving at 13 m/s. After the collision, Rebecca has a velocity of 8 m/s at an angle of 53.10 from her initial direction. a) What are the magnitude and direction of Daniel's velocity after the collision? b) What is the change in kinetic energy of the two skaters as a result of the collision?

Two ice skaters, Daniel (mass 70.0 kg ) and Rebecca (mass 45.0 kg ), are practicing. Daniel stops to tie his shoelace and, while at rest, is struck by Rebecca, who is moving at 14.0 m/s before she collides with him. After the collision, Rebecca has a velocity of magnitude 7.00 m/s at an angle of 55.1 ∘ from her initial direction. Both skaters move on the frictionless, horizontal surface of the rink. Part A What is the magnitude of...

QUESTION 1 Two skaters, one of mass 80 kg, the other of mass 40 kg, are standing next to each other on frictionless ice rink. The 40 kg skater pushes the 80 kg skater. After the push, the 80 kg skater is going at 1 m/s. How fast and in what direction is the 40 kg skater going after the push? (HINT: use the fact that since there are no external forces, the velocity of the center of mass of...

Q1 A small object with a momentum of magnitude 2.71 kg m/s approaches head-on a large object at rest. The small object bounces straight back with a momentum of magnitude 6.19 kg m/s. What is the magnitude of the small object's momentum change in kg m/s? Q2 A force acts on a 4.708 kg mass as follows: the force starts at zero and rises to 60.334 N linearly in 2.24 seconds, it remains at 60.334 N for another 5.756 seconds,...
