Homework Statement
A 70.0-kg man and a 55.0-kg woman holding a 2.50-kg purse on ice skates stand facing each other.
(a) If the woman pushes the man backwards so that his final speed is 1.50 m/s, with what average force did she push him,
assum ing they were in contact for 0.500 s? (b) What is the woman's recoil speed? (c) If she now throws her 2.50-kg purse
at him at a 20. 0° angle above the horizontal and at 4.20 m/s relative to the ground, what is her subsequent speed?
I know part a and b, but I need help with part c.
