**Problem Statement:**A confused 53 kg bowler on ice skates is coasting forwards with a speed of 20 m/s when he catches a 6.3 kg bowling ball moving at 6 m/s in the opposite direction as he. What is the bowler’s speed immediately after making the catch?**Options:**A. 18.15 m/s B. 17.24 m/s C. 19.67 m/s D. 16.58 m/s E. 20.26 m/s F. 19.01 m/s **Explanation:**This problem involves the conservation of momentum. The total momentum before the catch equals the total momentum after the catch. The formula for momentum is:\[ \text{Total Momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \]Before the catch, the combined momentum of the bowler and the ball is:\[ (53 \, \text{kg} \times 20 \, \text{m/s}) + (6.3 \, \text{kg} \times (-6) \, \text{m/s}) \]After the catch, the mass of the bowler and bowling ball is:\[ (53 + 6.3) \, \text{kg} \]The equation for the final speed \( v \) after the catch using conservation of momentum is:\[ (53 \times 20) + (6.3 \times -6) = (53 + 6.3) \times v \]Solving this will give the bowler's speed after making the catch.
