A 69.0 kg person throws a 0.0410 kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 35.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.00 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice.

Total momentum (two persons plus snowball) remains the same, when there is no friction. Try to set this problem up by yourself. Someone here will guide you through the process if you make an attempt.
