Asterix and Obelix are standing on skateboards on level ground 2 m apart. Obelix holds a ball of mass 1 kg. The mass of Asterix and his skateboard is 29 kg; that of Obelix and his board is 70 kg. Initially, everything is at rest; then Obelix throws the ball horizontally with an initial speed of 7 m/s toward Asterix, who will catch it and throw it back. We will ignore friction in the wheels and air resistance.
