a 35-kg girl, standing at rest on a frictionless surface, gives a 50-kg boy, who is also standing at rest on the ice, a shove. After the shove, the boy is moving backward at 2.0 m/s. The girls speed is ?

Two ice skaters stand together. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.35 m/s. If the boy weighs 745 N and the girl 477 N, what is the girl's velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless) _____ m/s
