Answer:

The speed is v_2 =  0.2813 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the first skater is m_1 =  45 \ kg

    The final speed of the first skater is v_1 = 0.375 \ m/ s

    The mass of the second skater is m_2 = 60 \ kg

According to the principle of linear momentum conservation

     Initial  \ momentum  =  final  \  momentum

Here  Initial momentum =  (m_1 + m_2) * u

Since they they started from a stationary position

      u = 0

So

    Initial \ momentum =  0 \ m/s

While  

     final \ momentum =  m_1* v_1 + m_2 * v_2

substituting values

       final \ momentum = (45 * 0.375) +(60 * v_2)

So   (45 * 0.375) +(60 * v_2) = 0

=>    v_2 =  0.2813 \ m/s
