A team in Quebec is playing ice baseball. A 72 kg player who is initially at rest catches a 145 g ball traveling at 18 m/s. If the player's skates are frictionless, how much time is required for him to glide 5 m after catching the ball?

Answer 1

(72+.145)V=.145*18

solve for V (in sigificant digits, you can forget adding the .145kg).

time=5/V seconds
