Question

1. Two ice skaters have masses mi and m2 and are initially stationary. They face each other

and their skates are identical. They push against one another and move in opposite direction

with different speeds. Once the skaters separate, kinetic friction will eventually bring them

to a halt. As they glide to a halt, the magnitudes of their accelerations are equal,

and skater 1 glides twice as far as skater 2. Calculate m₁/m₂
