Question
Problem 4: An ice skater of mass M = 56 kg has two snowballs thrown at them at q = 49.9 degrees from each other, as shown in
the figure (view from the top). The two snowballs have identical masses of m = 0.291 kg and identical speeds of Vo = 5.59 m/s.
The snowballs stick to the skater. The skater is initially at rest and you may consider the ice skater to be standing on a frictionless
surface.
Note: this is a linear momentum problem, not an angular momentum problem.
