A 75.0 kg ice skater moving at 10.5 m/s crashes into a stationary skater of equal mass. After the collision, the two skaters move as a unit at 5.25 m/s. If the impact time is 0.100 s, what are the magnitudes of the average forces experienced by each skater during the collision? Force experienced by moving skater  N Force experienced by stationary skater  N Suppose the average force a skater can experience without breaking a bone is 4500 N. Does a bone break? Yes or NO
