Two hockey players skating on essentially frictionless ice collide head-on. Madeleine, of mass 65.0 kg, is moving at 6.00 m/s to the east just before the collision and at 3.00 m/s to the west just after the collision. Buffy, of mass 55.0 kg, is moving at 3.50 m/s to the east just after the collision. a) Find Buffy's velocity (magnitude and direction) just before the collision. b) Determine the changes in the velocities of the two hockey players during the collision. c) Determine who has the greater magnitude of velocity change: more massive Madeleine or less massive Buffy? Take east to be the positive direction in your calculation. Two hockey players skating on essentially frictionless ice collide head-on.
