Three ice skaters meet at the center of a rink and each stands at rest facing the center, within arm's reach of the other two. On a signal, each skater pushes himself away from the other two across the frictionless ice. After the push, skater A with mass mA = 90.0 kg moves in the negative y-direction at 4.00 m/s and skater B with mass mB = 95.0 kg moves in the negative x-direction at 2.00 m/s. Find the x- and y-components of the 80.0 kg skater C's velocity (in m/s) after the push.

Albert and his friend Isaac are standing in the middle of a sheet of ice in the student parking lot when they decide to give each other a push. If Albert has a mass of 73.6 kg and moves to the right at 1.30 m/s after the push, how fast will Isaac move if his mass is 51.8 kg? m/s
A skater of mass 72.5 kg initially moves in a straight line at a speed of 4.80 m/s. The skater approaches a child of mass 35.0 kg, whom he lifts on his shoulders. Assuming there are no external horizontal forces, what is the skater's final velocity?
A woman weighing 57.1 kg stands at one end of a 120-kg raft that is 6.00 m long. The other end of the raft is 0.500 m from a pier. So, before the woman moves, she is at a total distance of 6.50 m away from the pier. The woman walks toward the pier until she gets to the other end of the uniform raft and stops there. What is the distance between the uniform raft and the pier?
Identical twins, each with mass 52.5 kg, are on ice skates and at rest on a frozen lake, which may be taken as frictionless. Twin A is carrying a backpack of mass 12.0 kg. She throws it horizontally at 2.55 m/s to Twin B. Neglecting any gravity effects, what are the subsequent speeds of Twin A and Twin B?
An amusement park features a set of light railcars, currently resting on a straight, level section of track. Each railcar has a mass of 18 kg. Ellen and her younger brother Tim are seated in two of these railcars, which are initially at rest with the rubber buffers just touching each other. Ellen's mass is 42 kg, while Tim's mass is 32 kg. Ellen pushes Tim's railcar so that it moves away with a speed of 3.0 m/s relative to the track. Assuming that the frictional forces on the railcars are small, how far the railcars will have travelled after 2.0 s?
A block of mass 10.0 kg is moving east at 2.0 m/s and another block, of mass 4.0 kg is moving north at 4.0 m/s. The velocity of the center of mass of this two-block system is 2.0 m/s at an angle of 51 degrees south of east 1.8 m/s at an angle of 39 degrees north of east 6.0 m/s at an angle of 51 degrees west of north 1.8 m/s at an angle of 39 degrees east of north 2.0 m/s due west
A 2.50 kg box sits halfway up a 16.0 m long ramp that is inclined at an angle of 16.00. You shove a second box, of mass 1.50 kg, that's at the bottom of the ramp, so that it starts sliding up the ramp with a speed of 20.0 m/s. It hits the first box, sticks to it, and they both continue to slide up the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the boxes and the ramp is 0.200. Where, from the bottom of the ramp, do they come to rest?
Two young children face each other standing on roller skates. If the first child (mass of 40 kg) pushes off from the second child (mass of 30 kg) to the right with a speed of 4 m/s, what is the speed and direction of the second child?
An interacting system of two objects has no external force acting on the system. The firstobject has a mass 2.00 kg and is moving with a velocity (2.00 m/s)i + (1.00 m/s)j at time t =0.00 s. The second object has a mass 3.00 kg and is moving with a velocity (-1.00 m/s)i +(1.00 m/s)j at time t = 0.00 s. The second object is moving with a velocity (2.00 m/s)i +(-1.00 m/s)j at time t = 1.00 s. What is the velocity of the first object at t = 1.00 s?
