    What Is Oliver's Recoil Speed on Ice After Throwing a Rock?

    I seriously dun get this... Is this wrong?: (mass of oliver)* (oliver's velocity)= (mass of rock) (velocity of rock) (59.1)(v)= (0.588) (19.8) v= 0.588*19.8/59.1 v=0.196?

    What Is Oliver's Recoil Speed on Ice After Throwing a Rock?

    Would the orginal momentum be zero so would i use 0 as the momentum and find velocity from there? i am so confused:confused: also it says that if oliver throws the rock he would throw it at 19.8 m/s so is that the velocity at the instant he throws it? i seem to be more confused..? :cry:
