We know that
• The mass of the ball is 10kg.
,
• The initial velocity of the ball is 9m/s.
,
• The mass of the man is 130kg.
,
• The initial velocity of the man is null (stationary).
,
• The final velocity of the ball is 5m/s.
To find the final velocity of the person, we have to use the law of conservation of momentum.
Where p = mv. Using all the given information, we have
Then, we solve for v
Therefore, the velocity of the person after the ball bounces off him is 0.31 meters per second, approximately.
