Momentum Formula: $\overline{P} = m \overline{v}$

P is momentum (in kg · m/s)m is mass (in kg)v is velocity (in m/s)

Law of Conservation of Momentum: $\sum \overline{P_i} = \sum \overline{P_f}$

States that the sum of initial momentum must equal the sum of final momentumExplanation:

Step 1: Define

[LCM] $\sum \overline{P_i} = \sum \overline{P_f}$ → $m_{1} \overline{v_{1i}} + m_{2} \overline{v_{2i}} = (m_{1} + m_{2}) \overline{v_{f}}$

m₁ (ball) = 7.00 kg

m₂ (man) = 75.0 kg

$\overline{v_{1i}} = ?$

$\overline{v_{2i}} = 0 \ \frac{m}{s}$ (man starts from rest)

$\overline{v_{f}} = 3.00 \ \frac{m}{s}$ (the ball and the man are one mass because the man catches and keeps the ball)

We know no energy is lost because it is a frictionless surface. The collision should be perfectly elastic.

Step 2: Solve

Substitute in variables [Law of Conservation of Momentum]: $\displaystyle (7.00 \ kg) \overline{v_{1i}} + (75.0 \ kg)(0 \ \frac{m}{s}) = (7.00 \ kg + 75.0 \ kg)(3.00 \ \frac{m}{s})$ Multiply: $\displaystyle (7.00 \ kg) \overline{v_{1i}} + 0 = 246 \ kg \cdot \frac{m}{s}$ Simplify: $\displaystyle (7.00 \ kg) \overline{v_{1i}} = 246 \ kg \cdot \frac{m}{s}$ [Division Property of Equality] Isolate unknown: $\displaystyle \overline{v_{1i}} = \frac{246}{7} \ \frac{m}{s}$ [Evaluate] Divide: $\displaystyle \overline{v_{1i}} = 35.1429 \ \frac{m}{s}$

The initial speed of the ball should be approximately 35.14 m/s.

35.14 m/s

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Momentum states that the momentum before and after a collision is the same.

m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

Let's set the ball to have the subscript of 1 and the man to have the subscript of 2.

The initial and final mass of the ball is the same, so m₁ = 7.00 kg on both sides of the equation.

The initial velocity of the ball, v₁ on the left side of the equation, is the unknown variable we are trying to find.

The initial and final mass of the man is the same, so m₂ = 75.0 kg on both sides of the equation.

The man starts at rest, meaning that his initial velocity is v₂ = 0 m/s on the left side of the equation.

The final velocity of both the ball and the man is 3.00 m/s, so we can set v₁ and v₂ on the right side of the equation to equal 3.00 m/s.

Left side of the equation:

m₁ = 7.00 kg v₁ = ?m₂ = 75.0 kgv₂ = 0 m/s

Right side of the equation:

m₁ = 7.00 kg v₁ = 3.00 m/sm₂ = 75.0 kgv₂ = 3.00 m/s

Substitute these values into the Law of Conversation of Momentum formula.

(7.00) v₁ + (75.0)(0) = (7.00)(3.00) + (75.0)(3.00)

Multiply and simplify.

7.00 v₁ = 21 + 225 7 v₁ = 246

Divide both sides of the equation by 7.

v₁ = 35.14 m/s

The ball needs to be moving at a speed of 35.14 m/s in order to send the man off at a speed of 3.00 m/s.
