Two skateboarders are at the bottom of a half-pipe and push off of each other to propel themselves away from their initial point. Their combined push converts 120,000 J of Chemical Energy into Kinetic Energy. They then skate up their respective sides of the half-pipe. a) Draw as many sketches as you need to solve the problem, and identify what quantities are conserved between each time of non-constant acceleration. b) If the skaters weigh 60kg and 80kg, find the velocities of both skaters (V 60 and ✓ 80) after they push off c) Find the heights each skater gets to at their maximum in the half-pipe
