Grade Summary mi vimpl Late Work 7 8 9 HOME Late Potential 85% Submissions Attempts remaining 17 N BACKSPACE CLEAR I give up! Feedback Feedback deduction per feedback Hints: for a deduction Hints remaining -Momentum will be conserved in this collision, so just set the initial momentum of the cannon ball equal to the find momentum of the performer cannon ball (since he catches it).

Explanation / Answer

mass of canon ball m1=8.5 kg

performer mass m2

velocity of canon ball is v

let recoil speed is vf

from law of conserveration

m1v=(m1+m2)vf

vf=m1v/(m1+m2)
