Separation between them will increase initially the momentum of both of them are zero as they are at rest. In order to conserve the momentum the one who throws the ball would move backward. The second will experience a net force after catching the ball and therefore will move backward that is in the direction of the force.

Two skaters P and Q are skating towards each other. Skater P throws a ball towards W every 5 s such that it always leaves her hand with speed 2 ms^(-1) with respect to the ground. Consider two cases: (I) P runs with speed 1 ms^(-1) towards Q while Q remains stationary (II) Q runs with speed 1 ms^(-1) towards P while P remains stationary. Note that irrespective of speed of P, ball always leaves P's hand with speed 2 ms^(-1) with respect to the ground. Ignore gravity. Balls will be received by Q .

Two mirrors, one concave and the other convex, are placed 60 cm apart with their reflecting surfaces facing each other. An object is placed 30 cm from the pole of either of them on their axis. If the focal lengths of both the mirrors are 15 cm, the position of the image formed by reflection, first at the convex and then at the concave mirror, is:
