Two ice skaters push off against one another starting from a stationary position. The 45.0-kg skater acquires a speed of 0.375 m/s. What speed does the 60.0-kg skater acquire in m/s

0.2812

Explanation:

Given that

mass of skater 1, m1 = 45 kg

mass of skater 2, m2 = 60 kg

speed of skater 1, v1 = 0.375 m/s

To attempt this question, we would be using the Law of conservation of momentum That says the momentum is constant, before and after the movement.

Thus, momentum p = mv

Law of conservation of momentum infers that,

m1v1 = m2v2

Now we proceed to substitute our values into the formula.

45 * 0.375 = 60 * v2

v2 = 16.875 / 60

v2 = 0.2812 m/s

Therefore the speed of the second skater has to be 0.2812 m/s

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~

search it up!
