Question: Two skydivers are holding on to each other while falling straight down at a common terminal speed of 5 9 . 5 0 m /

Two skydivers are holding on to each other while falling straight down at a common terminal speed of 59.50 m/s. Suddenly, they push away from each other. Immediately after separation, the first skydiver, who has a mass m, of 94.80 kg, has a velocity v1 with the components (straight down correspond to the positive Z axis)
U1x =4.930 m/S Uly =4.750 m/S U1,2=59.50 m/s
Immediately after separation, what are the x and y components U2,x and Uzy, respectively, of the velocity v2 of the second skydiver, whose mass m, is 52.20 kg?
Assume that there are no horizontal forces of air resistance acting on the skydivers.
