In a simple throwball game on ice, a \(90-\mathrm{kg}\) athlete throws a \(1.0-\mathrm{kg}\) ball at \(15 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). The ball is caught by his \(80-\mathrm{kg}\) teammate. If \(20 \%\) of the source energy is lost in the initial throw, then what are the recoil speeds of the athletes? What is the source energy? \(\cdot\)
