A90kg man is standing still on frictionless ice. his friend tosses him a 10kg ball, which has a horizontal velocity of 20m/s. after catching the ball, what is the man's velocity?

The man's velocity is

Explanation:

If we want to solve this exercise, we need to use the Momentum Conservation Principle.

The momentum is a vectorial magnitude define as :

Where ''p'' is the momentum

Where ''m'' is the mass of the object

And where ''v'' is the velocity vector.

For any collision occurring in an isolated system, momentum is conserved. We define an isolated system as a system in which the sumatory of exterior forces is equal to zero.

For this exercise, we can solve it as a collision ⇒

Where ''m1'' is the mass of the ball

Where ''v1'' is the velocity vector of the ball

Where ''m2'' is the mass of the man

And where ''v2'' is the velocity vector of the man after catching the ball.

If we replace all the data in the equation :

This will be the magnitude of the velocity vector from the man.  

If we define as positive the sense in which his friend tosses him the ball (given that we know the direction), the man's velocity will be

weather forecasts are done by collecting data about the current state of the atmosphere mainly the temperature, humidity and wind and using meteorology, to determine the atmosphere that evolves over time. the h and l mean the high and low pressure. the red strip is a warm front. the blue strip is a cold front. the blue and red strip is a stationary front. the purple strip is a occluded front.

explanation:

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
