A 10 kg medicine ball is thrown at a velocity of 15 km/hr ( m/s) to a 50 kg skater who is at rest on the ice. The skater catches the ball and subsequently slides with the ball across the

ice.

3x + 2x = both people using the same measure of like 5x = x= 25 meters per second. 25ms. it takes them 4 seconds to

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
