[QUOTE="astru025, post: 4515620, member: 488663"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A father (m = 86 kg) and son (m = 45 kg) are standing facing each other on a frozen pond. The son pushes on the father and finds himself moving backward at 3 m/s after they have separated. How fast will the father be moving? [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] P=mv ( mass x velocity) P=(m1 + m2) v [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] (45+86) 3= 393. I have tried many different things and can't seem to come up with the answer.
