At the center of a 50 m diameter circular ice rink, if a 77 kg skater traveling at 2.3
m/s and then collides with a 63 kg skates traveling at 3.7 m/s. This is how
long it will take them to glide to the edge of the rink:
Speed after the collision= √{[77(2.3)77^2]
+ [63(3.7)^2]} / (77+63)=2.09 m/s
For them to be able to get to the edge
which is 50 m away it will take them 23.9
seconds.
