Professional application. a 96 kg football player catches a 0.900 kg ball with his feet off the ground with both of them moving horizontally. the player's speed is 6.30 m/s, and the ball's speed is 27.4 m/s. first, consider the situation where the player and the ball are going in the same direction, and take this direction as positive. calculate their final velocity (in m/s). m/s

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum.

This definition can be expressed as

Where

= Mass of each object

= Initial Velocity of each object

= Final velocity

Rearranging the equation to find the final velocity we have,

Our values are given as

Replacing we have,

Therefore the final velocity is 6.5m/s
