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?
I set up a proportion with m1/m2= t1/t2 which becomes 50/85 = t/10. I got an answer of 5.88s. MasteringPhysics said it was correct... though I'm sure there's another way to do it "using physics".

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 50.0kg and 65.0kg , are at the center of a 40.0m -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 30.0s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
At the center of a 50-m-diameter circular ice rink, a 79 kg skater traveling north at 2.9 m/s collides with and holds onto a 65 kg skater who had been heading west at 3.3 m/s . How long will it take them to glide to the edge of the rink? Where will they reach it? Give your answer as an angle north of west.
At the center of a 50-m-diameter circular ice rink, a 70 kg skater traveling north at 2.8 m/s collides with and holds onto a 62 kg skater who had been heading west at 3.9 m/s . How long will it take them to glide to the edge of the rink? Where will they reach it? Give your answer as an angle north of west.
Two ice skaters, with masses of 73kg and 55kg , stand facing each other on a 18-m-wide frozen river. The skaters push off against each other, glide backward straight toward the river's edges, and reach the edges at exactly the same time. how far did the 73kg skater glide?

At the center of a 50-m-diameter circular ice rink, a 79 kg skater traveling north at 2.4 m/s collides with and holds onto a 62 kg skater who had been heading west at 3.9 m/s. Part A How long will it take them to glide to the edge of the rink? Part B Where will they reach it? Give your answer as an angle north of west.
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 =
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 = 80.0 kg moves in the negative y-direction at 4.00 m/s and skater B with mass mB = 85.0 kg moves in the negative x-direction at 3.00 m/s. Find the x-...
