    Where does this energy come from?

    Two figure skaters, one weighing 675 N and the other 750 N, push off against each other on very smooth ice. 1. If the heavier skater travels at 1.20 m/s, how fast will the lighter one travel? 2. How much kinetic energy is "created" during the skaters' maneuver? 3. Where does this energy...
