Two children with masses of 50 kg and 70 kg are at rest on frictionless in-line skates. The larger child pushes the smaller so that the smaller child rolls away at a speed of 10 m/s. v=0 m₁=70 m₁=70 V₁ =? m2=50 BEFORE AFTER a. Write the momentum conservation equation in terms of variables (m,v). b. Calculate the velocity of the larger child.
