Two skaters, one with mass 60 kg and the other with mass 47 kg, stand on an ice rink holding a pole of length 11 m and negligible mass. Starting from the ends of the pole, the skaters pull themselves along the pole until they meet. How far does the 47 kg skater move?
Since the center of mass of the two-skater system does not move, the two skaters will meet at the center of mass of the system. If we let the origin be at the initial position of the 40 kg skater, we can calculate the position of the center of mass. This is also the distance the 40 kg skater will move.

Two skaters, one with mass 55 kg and the other with mass 60 kg, stand on an ice rink holding a pole with a length of 6 m and a negligible mass. Starting from the ends of the pole, the skaters pull themselves along the pole until they meet. How far will the 60 kg skater move? m
Two skaters, each of mass 40 kg, approach each other along parallel paths separated by 4.0 m. They have opposite velocities of 2.1 m/s each. One skater carries one endof a long pole with negligible mass, and the second skater grabs the other end of it as she passes. The skaters then rotate around the center of the pole. Assume thatthe friction between skates and ice is negligible.(a) What is the radius of the circle they now skate in?2 meters(b)...
Three ice skaters meet at the center of a rink and each stand 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 = 80.0 kg moves in the negative y-direction at 3.50 m/s and skater B with mass mB = 75.0 kg moves in the negative x-direction at 4.00 m/s. Find the x-...
Two ice skaters stand at rest in the center of an ice rink. When they push off against one another the 70-kg skater acquires a speed of 0.69 m/s If the speed of the other skater is 0.88 m/s. What is the skater's mass? Express your answer using two significant figures. m_2 =
Two ice skaters, with masses of 50.0 kg and 65.0 kg , are at the center of a 60.0 m -diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 30.0 s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?
Two ice skaters, with masses of 30.0 kg and 65.0 kg , are at the center of a 30.0 m -diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 20.0 s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?
Two ice skaters, with masses of 50.0 kg and 85.0 kg, are at the center of a 30.0 m -diameter-circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink.If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 10.0 s, how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?
Part III: Solve the following problems Two skaters gliding on ice run into each other head-on. If the two skaters hold onto each other and continue to move as a unit after the collision, what will be their resultant velocity? Skater A has a velocity of 5 m/s and a mass of 65 kg. Skater B has a velocity of 6 m/s and a mass of 60 kg.
Two ice skaters stand facing each other at rest on a frozen pond. They push off against one another and the 48-kg skater acquires a speed of 0.69 m/s. If the other skater acquires a speed of 0.87 m/s, what is her mass? ____kg
