For this question, assume that all velocities are horizontal and that there is no friction. Two skaters A and B are on an ice surface. A and B have the same mass M = 90.5 kg. A throws a ball with mass m = 200 g toward B with a speed v = 21.5 m/s relative to the ice. B catches the ball and throws it back to A with the same speed. After A catches the ball, his speed with respect to the ice is
