Question

Suppose a 0.250-kg ball is thrown at 15.0 m/s to a motionless person standing on ice who catches it with an outstretched arm as shown in Figure 10.40. (a) Calculate the final linear velocity of the person, given his mass is 70.0 kg. (b) What is his angular velocity if each arm is 5.00 kg? You may treat the ball as a point mass and treat the person's arms as uniform rods (each has a length of 0.900 m) and the rest of his body as a uniform cylinder of radius 0.180 m. Neglect the effect of the ball on his center of mass so that his center of mass remains in his geometrical center. (c) Compare the initial and final total kinetic energies.

Solution

Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 8 There is no external force is involved in the system, so from the conservation of the linear momentum. Here, is the mass of the ball, is the linear velocity of the ball before the collision, is the mass of the man and is the final linear velocity.
