Two skaters are moving towards each other on an ice rink. One skater (m1=45 kg) has a speed of 8.3 m/s towards the right. The other skater (m2=73 kg) has a speed of 4.8 m/s to the left. The skaters collide and grab on to each other. A. Determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the skaters after the collision. B. Determine the magnitude and direction of the impulse that acted on each skater during the collision.
