Kyle, a 80.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.430 kg ball precisely at the peak of his jump, when he is 0.538 meters off the ground. He hits the ground 0.0409 meters away from where he leapt. If the ball was moving horizontally when it was caught, how fast was the ball traveling

The velocity of ball is 23.19 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of football player = 80.0 kg

Mass of ball = 0.430 kg

Distance = 0.538

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

We need to calculate the velocity of ball

Using conservation of momentum

Put the value into the formula

The velocity of ball is 23.19 m/s

c because the action was the roller coaster reaches bottom of hill (action) reaction would be blood tends to drain away from head

hope this !
