Two ice skaters, of mass 30 kg and 80 kg, are skating across the surface of a frozen lake on a
collision course, with respective velocities of 2.0 m/s in a general north direction, and 1.0 m/s
generally west, as shown above. After they collide, the pair of skaters move off in a direction
north of west with a momentum of approximately 100 kg m/s. How much kinetic energy was
lost in the collision?
