A 50 kg skater at rest on a frictionless rink throws a 2 kg ball, giving the ball a velocity of 10 m/s.

Which statement describes the skater's subsequent motion?

A. 0.4 m/s in the same direction as the ball's motion

B. 0.4 m/s in the opposite direction of the ball's motion

C. 2 m/s in the same direction as the ball's motion

D. 2 m/s in the opposite direction of the ball's motion

    0.4 m/s in the opposite direction of the ball's motion.

    Explanation:

    A 50 kg skater at rest on a friction less rink throws a 2 kg ball, giving the ball a velocity of 10 m/s. thus the subsequent motion of skater is 0.4 m/s in the opposite direction of the ball's motion. The calculation is follows as

    2/50 = 0.4 m/s
