What were nates speeds immediately before-after collision

Reference no: EM13542871

Nate the Skate was an avid physics student whose main non-physics interest in life was high-speed skateboarding. In particular, Nate would often don a protective suit of Bounce-Tex, which he invented, and after working up a high speed on his skateboard, would collide with some object. In this way, he got a gut feel for the physical properties of collisions and succeeded in combining his two passions.* On one occasion, the Skate, with a mass of 131 kg, including his armor, hurled himself against a 819-kg stationary statue of Isaac Newton in a perfectly elastic linear collision. As a result, Isaac started moving at 1.65 m/s and Nate bounced backward. What were Nate\'s speeds immediately before and after the collision? (Enter positive numbers.) Ignore friction with the ground.
