The first rule of vectors is that the horizontal and vertical components are separate. Disregarding air resistance, the only thing we have to worry about is gravity.
The appropriate suvat to use for the vertical component is v = u +at
I will take a to be -9.81, you may have to change it to be 10 if your qualification likes g to be 10.
v = 30 + (-9.81x2)
v = 30 - 19.62
=10.38m/s
Therefore we know that after 2.0 s the vertical component will be 10.38ms^-1, ie 10m/s as the answers given are all to 2sf.
The horizontal component is completely separate to the vertical component and since there is no air resistance, it will remain constant throughout the projectiles trajectory. Therefore it will remain at 40ms^-1.
Combining this together we get:
(1) vx=40m/s and vy=10m/s
Answer:
The final velocity of the thrower is 
and the final velocity of the catcher is 
.
Explanation:
Given:
The mass of the thrower, 
.
The mass of the catcher, 
.
The mass of the ball, 
.
Initial velocity of the thrower, 
Final velocity of the ball, 
Initial velocity of the catcher, 
Consider that the final velocity of the thrower is 
. From the conservation of momentum,
Consider that the final velocity of the catcher is 
. From the conservation of momentum,
Thus, the final velocity of thrower is 
and that for the catcher is 
.
So that we do not contaminate it with microorganisms or garbage or other human stuff.
