Question

A 95.00 kg man on ice skates catches a ball moving at 18 m/s. The man is initially at rest. The man and the ball move together after the collision. The ball's mass is 0.14 kg. What is the final velocity

Answer 1

conserve momentum:

Is the ball stationary, moving directly away/toward him?

Pick your answer, and then just write the momentum equations before and after collision. Solve for v.
