Answer:
V = 0.074 m/s
Explanation:
given,
mass of the receiver, M = 96 Kg
mass of the ball, m = 0.42 Kg
initial speed of the ball, v = 17 m/s
initial speed of the receiver = 0 m/s
final speed.V = ?
using conservation of momentum
M u + m v = (M + m) V
0 + 0.42 x 17 = (96+0.42) V
96.42 V = 7.14
V = 0.074 m/s
hence, Speed after catching the ball is equal to 0.074 m/s
