A 74.0-kg man is at rest on ice skates. A 0.200-kg ball is thrown to him. The ball is moving horizontally at 25.6 m/s just before the man catches it. What is the man's speed just after he catches the ball? m/s

Step 1
In this scenario, the system consists of the man and the ball. Before the catch, the man is at rest, and the ball is moving. After the catch, both move together. The total momentum before the catch must equal the total momentum after the catch. Show more…
