A 75-kg man is at rest on ice skates. A 0.20-kg ball is thrown to him. The ball is moving horizontally at $25 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ just before the man catches it. How fast is the man moving just after he catches the ball?

A 70.0 kg football player is gliding across very smooth ice at 2.00 m/s. He throws a 0.450 kg football straight forward. What is the player's speed afterward if the ball is thrown at a.15.0 m/s relative to the ground b.15.0 m/s relative to the player
